Summary: The Ear, the Eye, and the Arm
Review: This book is a great novel by Nancy farmer. It is very exciting and surprising. One interesting fact is that it takes place in 2194. It also talkes about the enviorment and ways of life in Zimbabwe. I enjoyed this book a lot!
If you've read this far, I'm sure you'll enyoy this book. Reason, well... The first paragraph of this paper is like the first few chapters in this novel, The Ear, the Eye, and the
Arm. They both don't exactly start with a exciting beggining... This book doesn't have a beggining that will pull you in and make you think,"Read more, Read more!" It haas more of a beggining that will tell you to slap the boring book shut and forget about it! If you think you might do that, think again. Is that the only chance you wll give it? I definetly advise you not to because once you've read past the first few chapters explaining the unuasual seting and the descriptions of the characters, you'l be hooked to this book closer than any fish has on a fishing line!!!
Have you ever wanted to go on a trip where you're all alone, no parents, no rules (at least you think so) and no limits??? This is the kind of adventure that Tendai, Rita, and Kuda, children of the powerfull General Matsika had!!! They sneak into the the "outside" and happily got lost. In the beggining of their adventure they think that being free isn't that bad... Already in the the first day do they fall into trouble with a rather large lady and a talking monkey, now thats weird. The three excited children later meet people they can't tell from the floor, (imagine someone being under your feet for days without you knowing, and then suddenly what you think is the groung starts moving...) They also meet some perfectionist that cares for them in a relly mean way. In the mid part of the story they join a "world" of piece and love. (This "world" actually has a lot more to it, no witchcraft, no mordern technology, and lots of beautifull land) Towards the end of the story Tendai, Kuda, and Rita meet loads of new characters in a scary, terrifying and bloody fight of good, good-bad, and bad... To find out more: read the book...

Summary: The Ear, the Eye and the Arm
Review: The Ear, the Eye and the Arm, a delightfully entertaining book, is about three children craving for adventure. As they get their wish, and go on a whirlwind episode, you'll find yourself getting more and more caught up in the book. You will find putting it down not even a possibility.
The Matiska family seem unreal, with a General (of Zimbabwe) as a father who gives them daily morning inspections, just to make sure they fit the perfect family image. Their mother is a kind and dear lady, but so often caught up in her own world, as she is a professor at a university. The Matiska children include Tendai, the eldest, a soft- hearted boy by the age of thirteen. Rita is the second of the children, a fiery mathematician, but if she would only use her brains before she spoke! Kuda, the youngest, was thought of as a young warrior, as often remarked by people close to the family.
Tendai, on his thirteenth birrthday, wishes for an adventure, as they have never been out of the massive Matiska mansion. The reason for this is astonishing rule is because their father is frightened for the safety of his children, as the Masks, a well- known and feared gang, just might be on the lookout for the children! But the Masks don't stand a chance of getting them unless the children manage to get out of the manor. With the help of the family's praise- singer (known as the Mellower) the children do just that! But if they only knew what the world had in store for them! A woman who has a tiny colony of people, searching for plastic! A blue monkey who talks, and is part pit bull, part human, and of course, part monkey! This is only an example of the things they discover on their adventure, as they find things deep inside their heart, for even though they live ina lonely house, full of machines, they find themselves missing it and their parents. They learn responsibilty, and most of all understand that everything isn't always what it seems at first glance, and before you do something, think about it.

Summary: Don't Lok Behind the Masks
Review: "Think about it, would you steal out from a enormous mansion in to a country where there's lots of kidnapping and killing or would you stay in the lonely mansion. This is what the main character of The Ear, the Eye, and the Arm felt like. This world is a futuristic (2194), Zimbawe, there's lots of high skyscarpers and flying taxies. You'll see how this story will end.
A boy, Tendai, the General Matsika's son was under lock and key in a mansion He was 13 years old and has one sister, Rita and one brother Kuda. His target was the Boyscout Adventure badge. To earn this he had to take a risk to get out of this huge mansion. The outside of this house roamed the hideous gangs, the Masks. Who were ready to sneak behind and kill you. The Mellower who's the praise singer felt that Tendai and his little siblings, Rita and Kuda, were fitigued in the fatigued mansion. So Mellower hypnothized General Matsika and freed the children from the big mansion to the wild world. The Matsika children wanders around the city then gets cuaght by the evil woman She Elephant. Then they escape from her, but they run in deep trouble like the Oregon Trail making hard choices, but Tendai doesn't make good choices.
This is the beginning when the real the perils start. As it goes on, the wife of the general calls the three weird detectives that were born with nuclear waste of the Cow's Guts. These three detectives are called Ear, Eye, and Arm Ear has a super hearing abilities that he can even hear a whisper from the next door. Eye has eyes that is like a frogs' eyes. He only has a pupl in his eyes. He wears green speckled glasses to cover 95% of his eyes. Otherwise he would get confused. Arm has a long arm and he can pick up feelings from people. With this capabitllities, the detective calulates out th mystery fo the disappearance of the children and searches for signs of the peril.
I recommend firth and sixth grade to read this book, nd peope that like mysteries. I really liked it because it was adventurous and everything unexpected things happens.
