INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Hargrave, Kiran Millwood

The Cartographer's Daughter

(4) 4-6 In 1524 in a slightly altered world, twelve-year-old Isabella lives on the island of Joya with her mapmaker father. Under the cruel leadership of the mysterious Governor, no one is allowed to travel beyond the forest that surrounds their village. Then tragedy strikes, and Isabella leads an expedition to find answers. Despite graceful, evocative prose, the plot never quite comes together in a satisfying way.
