One fateful afternoon, he steals a box from a mysterious traveling haberdasher — a box that contains three pairs of magical eyes. When he tries on the first pair, he is instantly transported to a hidden island, where he meets the eccentric Professor Cake. The Professor gives Peter a choice: travel to the dangerous Vanished Kingdom to rescue a people in need . . . or return to a life of crime. Peter chooses wisely, and together with Sir Tode, a knight who has been turned into a rather unfortunate combination of human, horse, and cat, and the magic eyes, he embarks on an unforgettable, swashbuckling adventure to learn his true destiny.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIncludes a sample chapter from\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eSophie Quire and the Last Storyguard\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eJONATHAN AUXIER\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e teaches creative writing and children's literature.
