Author: Jonathan Auxier
Review: Close your eyes and imagine what it’s like to be blind. Listen carefully and you might hear the waves that wash Peter Nimble away to his destiny. In the story, Peter Nimble and his fantastic eyes, Peter is an orphan working for an abusive con man named, Mr. Seamus. Peter is a skilled pick pocket and a clever thief and oh yes- he is utterly blind. Peter dreams of distant far off lands where there is still magic in the world, but between Mr. Seamus and his dog Killer, Peter is losing the hope of living a praiseworthy life. When Peter comes across a strange haberdasher (that’s a peddler or traveling salesman), he catches the scent of something rare-maybe priceless! He gets more than he bargains for when he picks the locks on the peddler’s carriage. Read all about Peter’s eye opening adventure in Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes.
