The Ear, The Eye, and The Arm

Tendai, Rita and Kuda are the kids of General Matsika, Zimbabwe's chief of security. Tendai is said to be soft by his father because he hates fighting and others' pain. Kuda is different, he loves fighting. Rita is really good with Math. Another character is the Mellower, whose real name is Anthony. His job is to settle down the General and give praises to the family. Tendai, Rita, and Kuda want to explore the city and get their badges, so the Mellower tricks their parent's by letting them go with a signed form. Their first stop is Mbare Musika, a food market. While they are there, they get kidnapped by two people called, Fist and Knife. They are the helpers of the She Elephant. They are kept as slaves for a long time, but they soon find a way to escape. They escape to a place with the trash man called, Resthaven. Meanwhile, their parents find out, and get detectives, The Ear, The Eye and The Arm, to look for them. The detectives go to the She Elephant's place, but they are not there. They continue trying to look for them. While the kids are at Resthaven, they are accepted and cannot leave. They soon, however, get accused of witchcraft, and are banned from Resthaven. Then, they go to the Mellowers mother's house where she waits to get a reward for them. The She Elephant soon goes there and steals the children to give to the Masks, a bad gang. Will the detectives find them in time?

I like this book because it is about detectives, adventures, and crimes. People who enjoy exciting adventure and detective books will like The Ear, The Eye, and The Arm.
