The Ear, the Eye, and the Arm by Nancy Farmer

4.0

This is such a strange and awesome book. A Zimbabwean sci-fi tale about three resourceful, adventure-seeking kids, mutated detectives, African spirits and folklore, family relations, ancient civilizations, and even with all of that the tale still manages to get to the heart of humanity. It shows the good and the bad in people, how different people react when faced with their true morals, how characters change, and it treats everyone involved in the story as equally important: children, adults, men, women, the physically altered and the mentally disabled.

I just really like the way things come together, and the thought that feels like it was put into every scene. What a gem.
