An interesting story about a lost river in the town of Alden, where two kids' persistence and adventurousness work to find a new balance in a town run by the strict Night Coats. Alidade and Lewis find a mysterious creature who guides them in the skills of the Mapmakers as they set out to save the town.

The illustrations are beautiful, though a bit more muted in color than I had expected from the cover. The story was accessible and interesting, and definitely appropriate for middle grades readers.

Palette is ugly and the story is tedious. Stopped about halfway through cause I truly didn't care (but skipped to the end so I could confirm it was as predictable as I expected).
