Eye in the Storm

by Judy Nunn

My first two books were the children’s adventure novels Eye in the Storm and its sequel Eye in the City. The principal character in the books is a boy called Jeremy who is blind. But Jeremy has a secret, he can ‘astral travel’. And when Jeremy astral travels, he can see.

I don’t know quite where the central idea of the blind boy came from, but the setting which I used in Eye in the Storm is very much lifted from my early memories. The sea and boats and islands played a predominant part in my childhood . The choice of the ‘adventure’ genre too was automatic. I was a tomboy and preferred reading boys’ books rather than girls’. So I suppose, in writing the ‘Eye’ novels, I was really writing to the child within.
