His job is to be the Eyes--to see everything that happens within the park and report to the park's elders, three ancient bison who ensure the Equilibrium. His friends--a stalwart seagull, a mordant raccoon, a one-eyed squirrel, and a pelican who can read--work with him as the Assistant Eyes, observing the humans and other animals who share the park and making sure everything is in balance. But changes are afoot. More humans, including Trouble Travelers, arrive in the park. A new building, containing mysterious and hypnotic rectangles, goes up. And then there are the goats--an actual boatload of goats--who appear, along with a shocking revelation that changes Johannes' view of the world. Readers will thrill to Johannes's inimitable and wonderful voice, and will gorge on this unforgettable story of friendship, beauty, liberation, and running very, very fast.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDave Eggers is the author of many books, including \u003ci\u003eThe Eyes and the Impossible, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Every\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Circle\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Monk of Mokha\u003c\/i\u003e, and the National Book Award finalist \u003ci\u003eA Hologram for the King\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as numerous books for young readers, including \u003ci\u003eHer Right Foot\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFaraway Things\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Lifters\u003c\/i\u003e.
