Little Eyes - Megan Schweblin Samanta McDowell

They're not pets. Not ghosts or robots. These are kentukis, and they are in your home. They're everywhere. They're watching you...

They've infiltrated apartments in Hong Kong, shops in Vancouver, the streets of Sierra Leone, town squares of Oaxaca, schools in Tel Aviv, bedrooms in Indiana. Anonymous and untraceable, these seemingly cute cuddly toys reveal the beauty of connection between far-flung souls - but they also expose the ugly truth of our interconnected society. Samantha Schweblin's wildly imaginative new novel pulls us into a dark and complex world of unexpected love, playful encounters and marvellous adventures. But beneath the cuddly exterior, kentukis conceal a truth that is unsettling familiar and exhilarating real.

This is our present and we're living it - we just don't know it yet.
