Praise
“Johannes is a highly engaging narrator whose exuberance and good nature run like a bright thread through the novel’s pages…. There is a deeper story here, too, about being yourself and finding freedom.” —New York Times

“This outstanding adventure story weaves complex thoughts about loyalty, friendship, and purpose into an epic escape plot that’s pure bliss to read.” —Common Sense Media

★ “Eggers crafts a marvelous, fully fleshed protagonist in Johannes….whose compassionate narration delivers a rousing tale of community, joyful self-reliance, and the pleasures of running very, very fast.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
★ ”Animal lovers will be enthralled, and even for readers who mostly stick with humans, this is a standout example of the power of chosen family rather than biological ones.” —The Bulletin, starred review
★ “The Eyes and the Impossible is compelling and heartfelt, destined to be read again and again.” —Shelf Awareness, starred review
