From the back cover:
Zimbabwe, 2194: General Matsika's three children steal out of the house on a forbidden adventure - and disappear. Their parents call in Africa's most unusual detectives: the Ear, the Eye, and the Arm. Their mission takes them from the underbelly of the city to the swaying top of the Mile-High MacIlwaine Hotel. Yet the children stay just out of their reach. The evils of the past, the technology of the future, criminals with plans far beyond what anyone can imagine - can the Matsika children escape from the heart of it all?

I greatly enjoyed this 1995 Newbery Honor book. I had tried reading it once a while ago and had a lot of trouble getting into the story. I'm happy I gave it another try. It's now one of my favorite Newbery reads. These characters truly come alive and jump off the page, so to speak. Lots of emotion running through the story as well.
This book will be mailed tomorrow as part of iwillrejoice's ABC Bookring - US version - Books Beginning with the Letter E.
Received in the "E" book box. I am going to keep this one to read. Thank you for sharing.
