If you’re a writer or reader of middle grade adventure, historical, or fantasy (or if you read & loved THE TRUE CONFESSIONS OF CHARLOTTE DOYLE as a kid ), you should read THE LAST MAPMAKER by Christina Soontornvat. 1/3

I read this genre-bending novel recently and it quickly shot to the top of my recommended reading list for its:
* Compelling, flawed characters
* Rich yet succinct prose
* Exceptional balance of world-building, action, suspense, & character development 2/3
* Timeless, thought-provoking themes
Writers: if you’re looking to improve these areas of your craft, I recommend adding TLM to your list of books to read & study. (And you don’t just have to take my word for it—check out those stickers!) 3/3
