I love how the author gave us front row seat into Peter Nimble’s world.
Peter Nimble learns that the gifts he was given were exactly the gifts needed to bring freedom to his world. This is a story about finding your destiny that you didn’t even know existed. This is a story about having faith and walking out the adventure that is set before you. This is a story of overcoming obstacles even when the odds are stacked against you. This has been our family’s current read aloud and all my kids from teenagers to my littles are captivated by the story that the author is weaving. “Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes” is an adventure that will keep the attention of any reader at any age. Jonathan Auxier is one of my favorite story tellers in children’s literature. What our reluctant hero does not realize is that he is the key to the freedom of the Vanishing Kingdom. Eventually, Peter is persuaded to embark on the adventure of saving the Vanishing Kingdom. He doubts there is anything a 10 year old blind orphan could do that would save a kingdom. Peter does not believe that he is the right person for the job. He is commissioned to be the reluctant hero who will save the Vanished Kingdom from its doom. A quest that needs his particular expertise. On this island he is presented with a intriguing quest. Unable to resist the temptation, Peter tries a pair of the eyes and is immediately transported to a mysterious island. The small box contains three pairs of eyes. He ends up stealing from this man a box that contains an unexpected treasure. On an ordinary evening of thievery, Peter finds a mysterious man with a cart. Peter Nimble, who is a 10 year old blind orphan, is the greatest thief of his time.
