A review by campmom03
The Ear, the Eye, and the Arm by Nancy Farmer

5.0

I enjoyed this YA book. The writer paints a vivid portrait of an Africa 200 years in the future. When the three children, of the general, go missing, their mother calls in detectives to aid the search. The detectives have special abilities due to a toxic substance before their birth. Sounds a little corny, but it works and Ms. Farmer does a really nice job developing these characters.

I liked the way the children develop as they encounter different situations along their search to get home. I also liked how the detectives grow and change in their hunt for the children.

I recommend this book for teens and adults.
