This map-tastic middle grade story from Andrew Clements gives the phrase âuncharted territoryâ a whole new meaning!
Alton Barnes loves maps. Heâs loved them ever since he was little, and not just for the geography. Because maps contain more information than just locations, and thatâs why he likes to draw them as well as read them. Regular âpoint A to point Bâ ones, sure, but also maps that explain a whole lot moreâlike what he really thinks about his friends. And teachers. Even the principal.
So when Altonâs maps are stolen from his locker, thereâs serious trouble on the horizonâŚand heâll need some serious cartographic skills to escape it.
From âa genius of gentle, high-concept tales set in suburban middle schoolsâ (The New York Times), this stand-alone story is off the charts.
