The Last Mapmaker (Hardcover)

By Christina Soontornvat
$17.99

Action and adventure on the high seas, with a spunky, scrappy almost thirteen year old Sai, who with her wits, sheer determination and uncanny ability to draw what’s in front of her, just might become a valued mapmaker for Mangkon . But at what cost? Unputdownable and heart racing to the very end.

(Fantasy, ages 10+) - Reviewed by Maureen
