Summary: An adventure in Zimbabwe
Review: the setting of the book is in the year 2194,Zimbabawe,Harare. The book is structured around two different story lines, which wind around each other.One revolves around the children-Tendai rita and Kuda, and the other revolves around the detectives- The Ear, the eye and the Arm. Both groups have their own abnormalities-the children are kept in a compound like birds in a cage, and the detectives are genetically altered mutants, whose mothers were exposed to nuclear radiation.
The story begins in the Matisikas compound,a place with gaurded walls and filled with luxuries like the Bukingham palace. General Matsika, the childrens father was the Head of security in Zimbabwe.He eradicatedall the hostile gangs in the country and had attacked the masks, a vicious band of Godwannan terrorists. He was scared someone would kidnap his kids for revenge or randsom, so he kept his kids inside the house.
The children led a lonely isolated life, and were soon bored out of their minds.A praise singer called the Mellower lulled their father into giving them permission to leave on a scout trip. So then they start their journey into the harsh real world.

Their jouneystarts fine in the beggining but their luck doesent last and they bang into a blue monkey who hijacks and get kidnapped by two thugs calledd fist and knife. they then are sent to the wasteland of dead mans vlei. The Vlei is where rejected people go, and is a dump of old plastic and toxic waste. Most people would be shunning the sight of it but to the regular inhabitants ,it was home. They also had a queen figure the She Elephantwho kidnapped the children to give to the evil mask families. They also meet a stubborn woman whos fists granny and a freindly idiot called Trashman. For the first time in their lives they learn how to do real work. Also Tendai finds a Nhodora a spiritual necklace made of shell, this one once belonged to King Monomatapa, who gounded the Shona empire. Tendai finds the the Nhodora has supernatyral powers, and call the spirits to help him escape.
Once again the children escape to a place called Resthaven which cut off reality, where people livedby their own ancient rules which is something out of 6th century B.C.It is controlled by the headchieftan Garikari whose second wife Chipo is having a baby. The people are terribly backward and believe in witchcraft. They said they caused twins and one of the twins had to die. Then Chipo has twins and Rita protests about killing and gets into a lot of trouble. Myanda Gariyakanis second wife tirns out to be arms mother and helps the children escape and gives Arm the baby twin Sekai. finally the children escape as thought of being withches!
Meanwhile in the other part of the story the childrens mother call the detectives in. Each hve teir own special ability- Hearing, sight, touch, and thought.THey then try to invade the Dead mans vlei but the children already left. THen they try Rest Haven but dont find the children. Instead Arm meets his mother and the new baby.
Meanwhile the children move from one prison to the other. They land up in the Mellowers hous but are re-caught by the She Elephant for the final showdown with the Masks of Mukafose. Now the story turns from adventure to supernatural, with Tendai becoming a hero and trying to call spirits through the Mhondora. He fights the forces of evil represented by the Prescense. After its all over the detectives are well rewarded. At the end of the book Tendai remembers he had made a wish for adventure. he says to himself was this really worth it?
This book is very readableand its weird story line makes it appealing. Nancy Farmer really deserved the Newberry award. On aless serious plane- She hammers out the message be careful what you wish for!
