On Monday, May 24, at 11:32 a.m., Salim entered the London Eye cabin.
At 12:02 he didn't get out of it. He disappeared without a trace. As if he had just passed out. What do you do when common sense fails? When adults are paralyzed by the foreboding of the worst? And even the police are wandering in the dark? Only Ted Sparks, a 12-year-old boy with a funny but incredible brain, with the help of his older sister Kat, could see a pattern in the emotional storm around him and solve the riddle of the London Eye, which will lead him to his missing cousin Salim.
Siobhan Dowd (1960–2007), the prematurely deceased writer and activist of Irish roots, author of The Bog Child and The Pure Scream, once again proves herself to be an empathetic storyteller of life stories. In the award-winning The London Eye Puzzle – and another excellent translation by Tina Mahkot – we follow the story of an exceptional and unforgettable (autistic) narrator who manages to put the pieces together and create the whole picture.
