![]() ![]() Upon discovering the kids are missing, their parents employ the help of oddball detectives, the Ear, the Eye and the Arm, who have unusual powers due to a nuclear energy plant accident. At first, the kids enjoy the outing, eating greasy foods and watching the crowds, but they are soon kidnapped, and the adventure is afoot. Goaded by his younger siblings, Tendai contrives a plan for them to leave their home for an afternoon of exploring while mom and dad are away. Their strict father is a general, responsible for fighting crime, who fears his children might be kidnapped by local gangs if they stray from home. He and his younger brother and sister (Kuda and Rita) are not allowed to leave their secure, highly fortified household. The Ear, the Eye and the Arm, a Newbery Honor book by Nancy Farmer, tells the story of Tendai, a bored, thirteen-year-old boy who lives in Zimbabwe in the year 2194. ![]()
