Summary: The Ear the Eye and the Arm
Review: A book that shows the future but at the same time the past and what happens when they mix. When the generals children get lost they encounter a world that they had never experienced before. With the most gifted detectives after them you never know what will happen next. When the kids enter a city with all sorts of people walking around you never know whether there is good or evil, and ofcourse, both can be encountered.

Review: Zimbabwe, 2194; General Matsika's children have been kidnapped, and even as the most powerful figure in Zimbabwe, he is powerless to find them. So, as the best-and only-detectives in Mazoe, it is up to the Ear, Eye, and Arm detective agency to find them. As they search high and low for the children, this book takes you on an incredible adventure through Mazoe. From the swaying top of the Mile- High- MacIlwaine to the underbelly of the city, they encounter surprise after surprise in this great adventure. The Ear, the Eye and the Arm is one of the best books I have ever read, with a great climax. You will enjoy it IMMENSELY.

They ran away from the She Elephant following Trashman, his mind is like a four year old Child. Kuda whi is the youngest brother is on his back. Tendai is the oldest and Rita is the middle sister. The three detectivesare looking for the kids. The three siblings leab the Dead mans vlie and go to Resthaven.. After they are kicked out they go to Mrs Horsepool. Who is the Mellewors mom. The mellower is the praise singer in the story. THey are back on the hands of the She Elephant, and will they be sold to the Masks. I thought this was boring at the begining but not at the end.
