Description

From Jonathan Auxier, the New York Times bestselling author of The Night Gardener, comes the utterly beguiling tale of a 10-year-old blind orphan who has been schooled in a life of thievery.

"As delightful a magical story as readers . . . will hope to find." --Wall Street Journal

One fateful afternoon, Peter 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, Peter embarks on an unforgettable, swashbuckling adventure to discover his true destiny.

"The fast-paced, episodic story, accompanied by Auxier's occasional pen-and-ink drawings, is inventive, unpredictable, and--like its hero--nimble." --Publishers Weekly
