After Max loses his right eye in an accident, he finds he can see things from two different points of view at the same time. With his wandering eye, the imaginary one, Max sees his school, the night, and his family in a new way. When his eye turns into a mutant pearl and describes what it sees from the ocean bed, we see the underwater world from a dazzling new perspective. This ingenious narrative poem expresses an instinctive sense of the fabulous with extraordinary humor.
