I'm searching for a book I read about 6 years ago; I was probably 12 years old back then (~2010). I can, unfortunately, not remember much about the book at all, with the exception of one scene.
Here is everything I can remember (it might be slightly incorrect though).
The book had a male, boy, main character. The MC learned magic. There was an accident at the beginning of the book, I think the MC sets a tree on fire and somebody got hurt in the process. The MC is also blind, or he became blind (maybe after the accident?).
The next thing I remember is the MC sitting in a train with his mother, both are being sad because of his blindness. Suddenly, he, however, said, to his mother, that she should not worry, that he could see the tears rolling over her cheeks... The MC has apparently learned to see with magic or so.
The last part I remember is that the MC went to an island (or this is from another book...).
Many thanks to everyone for taking your time reading this. Not being able to find this book has been bugging me for weeks now...
