"The hottest dystopian picture book of the year. Told through Dan Yaccarino’s stunning graphic style, this page-turning picture book/early reader crossover will spark a new appreciation of reading, books, independence, friendship, and family. But she misses her family, and decides to head home, where, just maybe, she can help defeat the intrusive Eyes-and show her people how to think for themselves and enjoy each other’s company. As she explores the abandoned city, she’s thrilled to learn about the people who lived there, with no Eyes. There, she befriends a rat who leads her to a library and its treasure trove of books and knowledge. Running from an Eye, she discovers another world: the City Under the City. But Bix would like to do things for herself.
The Eyes are here to help! With everything. Instead, they stare at small portable screens, monitored by giant eyeballs. From acclaimed author-illustrator Dan Yaccarino comes an exhilarating adventure-set in a richly imagined alternate future-celebrating autonomy, community, and the power of reading, perfect for fans of The Rock From the Sky.īix lives with her family in a city where people rarely talk or play together, and no longer read books.
