The Ear, Eye and Arm. A Newbery award book or a not so interesting subject?
By Abby Frazee

The Ear, the Eye and the Arm, By Nancy Farmer is a very interesting book. some parts I enjoy others, not so much. This is a book that won a Newbery Award and I guess it's worth it, to some people. This is a book that is very adventuress and exciting, and confusing, but only at some parts.
This book is about three siblings, Tendai, Rita and Kuda who go on an adventure in the big city of Zimbabwe where they get kidnapped numerous of times and can't find a way out until they are stolen by the masks, an African gang that wants to use the kids for work.While all of this kidnapping is happening three detectives, Ear, Eye and Arm are searching the continent for these children. They are on the tail of the children but keep missing them until they finally find them at the mask's place.When something really bad is about to happen to Tendai the detectives get in to the mask's lair and try to save the children. When they finally get these children to their rightful home the children have made many friends and enemy's.
I do not like this book because of how confusing it is.There is this one part where they keep switching off from the detectives to the kids. At the end of that part I did not know who was talking and where everybody was. Who wants to read a book if you don't know what there talking about? The book has to many off subject parts too. I would be reading about them eating breakfast (which is not very important) but they would be in a different setting. The setting is a "little" more important than eating breakfast.
Here is some advise to the author. Write down the whole story that is in your head and then delete the unimportant parts. I know you probably did this technique but think you didn't do a very good job of it though.Another thing you should think about is spending more time writing the middle. This s the most important part of the story so, try harder on it.
This story also could easily be 150 pages but instead it's 300 pages. I feel like the author worked really hard at the beginning and the end, but the middle is to many parts in such short time, making it not very descriptive. I do not recommend this book to anyone who likes realistic fiction/fantasy/mystery because you will probably be disapointed like me and the rest of my group. I would probably give this book two tree's, sorry but I didn't really enjoy the book as much as I thought I would.
