A New York Times bestseller

Winner of the Newbery Medal

"This book is a magic trick" - Jon Klassen

Johannes is a free dog, a fast dog – such a fast dog! He lives in an urban park by the sea, and every day, he runs through the park, seeing all, missing nothing, and reporting what he sees to the park’s three ancient Bison, the Keepers of the Equilibrium. But the Equilibrium has been disrupted. Johannes must run faster, see better, and ultimately do more than run and see – he must liberate those he loves.

A story about friendship, beauty, liberation, and running very, very fast, The Eyes and the Impossible will make readers of all ages see the world around them in a wholly new way.
