Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes (the Vanished Kingdom Book 1) by Jonathan Auxier

The transporting first volume in the Vanished Kingdom fantasy series--a swashbuckling adventure with unforgettable characters, from Jonathan Auxier, the New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of The Night Gardener and Sweep



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.
