The Eyes and the Impossible: (Newbery Medal Winner)

The Eyes and the Impossible by Dave Eggers—a Newbery Medal winner and #1 New York Times bestseller—is a captivating, illustrated novel told through the eyes of Johannes, a free-spirited dog who watches over an urban park by the sea.

As the park’s “Eyes,” Johannes and his animal friends—a seagull, raccoon, squirrel, and pelican—work to preserve the park’s balance under the guidance of three wise bison. But when humans build a strange new structure and a boatload of goats arrives, Johannes discovers a truth that changes everything he thought he knew.

Beautifully illustrated by Shawn Harris, this story of freedom, friendship, and discovery invites readers of all ages to see the world with new eyes.
