the thrill of exploration and storytelling around campfires under
the open stars."

“one of the most poised, stylish children’s books I’ve read in a
long time … just an utter delight” Kate De Goldi, “I love this” Kim

"The Mapmakers’ Race already feels like a timeless adventure. Its
roaring spirit and dashes of fantasy are sure to inspire many
children to take on their own intrepid journeys, but for now
they’ll be more than happy to live vicariously through the
Santanders, each of whom have their own strengths, and whose bond
is heartwarming."
