From the New York Times bestselling author of The Night Gardener, 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 the first pair, he is instantly transported to a hidden island where he is presented with a special quest: to travel to the dangerous Vanished Kingdom and rescue a people in need. Along with his loyal sidekick—a knight who has been turned into an unfortunate combination of horse and cat—and the magic eyes, he embarks on an unforgettable, swashbuckling adventure to discover his true destiny.

Profile Picture

Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes. By Jonathan Auxier. This story is set in two different worlds. One is a world of fantasy, filled with talking animals, vanishing kingdoms, magic eyes and the belief that all things mechanical- locks, clocks, and crossbows, are magical. The other world is one of science, reason, and the belief that the fantasy world is nothing but a fairytale.
