Summary: National Emergency?
Review: How would you like to know how life was like in the year 2194? The Ear The Eye and The Arm can take you there. In a world of robots and the biggest "bad guys" in Zimbabwe running after them, Tendai and his two siblings, Rita and Kuda, who are eleven and four years old. Tendai is a spoiled, trapped and rich kid with everything he could possibly want-except freedom. In the end, he changes into a young man, inside and outside. I think communicating with other people is Tendai's strongest personality trait. The reason is because he feels other people's pain and understands their needs, throughout the story. I can understand how Tendai felt when he feels overjoyed and proud because the mhondoro , the spirit of the land enters him. He is honored. Wait one second- the spirit of the land only appears in national emergencies! Is this a national emergency? Find out! I think that the moral is- Things aren't always what they seem. Because, really things aren't what they seem!

Summary: THE EAR, THE EYE, AND THE ARM
Review: THE EAR, THE EYE, AND THE ARM takes place i futurisic Zambabwe, 2194 to be exact. The story is about Tendai, Rita, and Kuda, the children of General Matiska. The children are not allowed to leave their prison-like home, due to te fact that their father is afraid of their kidnapping. The children sneak out, and, as expected, ARE kidnapped. Mrs. and General Matiska hire Africa's most unusual detectives to find their children, The Ear, the Eye, and the Arm. Ear has excellent hearing "he can hear a bat burb in the basement", Eye has incredible sight "he can see a flea cling to a hawks feathers in the sky", and Arm can feel others feelings, kinda scary, eh?? The children go from slaves in a plastic mine, to an old Shona village from the ancient past, to a seemingly ally's house, to the top of a mile high building. Although this story takes place in the future, it brings up ancient conflicts and uncovers the most dangerous gang in Zambabwe........... Nancy Farmer has developed very srong characters and some of the things that happen are a BIG suprise. In this book, you kind of have to expect the unexpected, and keep an open mind. Even if you usually read science fiction books, this story will grip you and make you want to read it over and over again!!!
