Edward's Eyes
by Patricia MacLachlan
From the very first paragraph of MacLachlan's prologue, something of a mystery is presented while the reader is gripped with tantalizing glimpses of absorbing characters and relationships. Chapter One begins the story proper, in which young narrator Jake talks about life with his remarkable younger brother, Edward. Jake is the next to the youngest in a large family, and when Edward is first brought home from the hospital, Jake is inexplicably and deeply moved by looking into the baby's eyes. From that moment on, Edward becomes the center of Jake's life. Jake is his companion as he grows into a brilliant child with a special sixth sense and a unique set of abilities combined with a total lack of fear. Then another child, Sabine, is born and becomes as special to Edward as Edward is to Jake--and the story wends its circular way back to the prologue, ending with powerful impact. MacLachlan has a way of writing about extraordinary people in a way that makes them absolutely solid to the reader. She may have herself another Newbery here.--SJ
