Kiran Millwood Hargrave
A richly imagined adventure about mapmaking, friendship and courage under authoritarian rule. Isabella must act when murder, imprisonment and a friend’s disappearance unsettle her island, leading her towards magic and danger in the Forbidden Territories.
Paul Fleischman, illustrated by David Roberts
