About the Author:

From School Library Journal:

Grade 2-4?In this episodic, easy-to-read chapter book, Emily Eyefinger solves some mysteries, writes a clever poem, and makes a new friend. Thanks to the eye at the end of her left forefinger that lets her see from tricky angles, she discovers who is painting mysterious mustaches on a famous artist's portraits; assists Professor Mousefinder in locating and studying rare Little Desert Running Mice; and helps Dr. Deddybones, an archaeologist, uncover a lost treasure. One or two full-page black-and-white illustrations accompany each chapter. Although this third book in the series is readable and may capture children's interest, the premise is so implausible that many children may have trouble buying into it. Pat Hutchins's Follow That Bus! (Knopf, 1988) and The Mona Lisa Mystery (Greenwillow, 1981; o.p.) are better selections for this age group.?April L.
