One Thousand Eyes
No Customer Reviews
In One Thousand Eyes , a ragged troop of abandoned children fights to survive on a devastated Caribbean island. Eleven-year-old Myche marshals them out of the small sanctuary that is no longer safe, on a treacherous journey through destroyed cities and ravaged landscapes. In mountains and grottos, and in brackish wastelands of mangrove and floating grasses, the children face danger from the harsh environment and its inhabitants, as well as from intruders who hunt them ruthlessly. But a well-ordered and comfortable landing may pose the greatest threat of all. A coming-of-age tale for readers of Caribbean fiction and world literature, speculative writing and eco-fiction, One Thousand Eyes , set amid the dark forces of a chillingly possible world, is ultimately about resilience, love, courage and the power of storytelling. "An electrifying story." -- Nicholas Laughlin, Programme Director, NGC Bocas Lit Fest
