Description
From Jonathan Auxier, the New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of The Night Gardener and Sweep comes the first outing in The Vanished Kingdom series — a swashbuckling adventure with unforgettable characters for readers 8 to 12. Now with a newly designed cover!
Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes is the utterly beguiling tale of a ten-year-old blind orphan who has been schooled in a life of thievery. One fateful afternoon, he steals a box from a mysterious traveling haberdasher — a box that contains three pairs of magical eyes. When he tries on the first pair, he is instantly transported to a hidden island, where he meets the eccentric Professor Cake. The Professor gives Peter a choice: travel to the dangerous Vanished Kingdom to rescue a people in need . . . or return to a life of crime. Peter chooses wisely, and together with Sir Tode, a knight who has been turned into a rather unfortunate combination of human, horse, and cat, and the magic eyes, he embarks on an unforgettable, swashbuckling adventure to learn his true destiny.
Includes a sample chapter from Sophie Quire and the Last Storyguard
