The Walls Have Eyes by Clare Dunkle


Dunkle, Clare The Walls Have Eyes, 225 p. Atheneum (Simon), 2009. Martin Glass is free and his little sister, Cassie, is in good hands, but Martin wants his mom to be out of the bubble and its dangers too. So back in goes Martin, with his faithful ‘bot dog Chip. Martin will have to stay on his toes, think really fast, and hope for some help from a few friends – including one friend whom no one could have predicted – if he wants everyone he loves to come out of this adventure safely. Well – I had NO idea that this series was going to head this way. Of course I figured Martin was going to agitate enough to change the structure of his world permanently (what teenager wouldn’t given the chance) – but I didn’t see this particular path. Kudos to Dunkle for her very active imagination and skillful writing. Can I hope for a 3rd book? MS – ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Cindy, Library-Teacher
