A review by beastreader
The Mapmaker's Children by Sarah McCoy

4.0

It has been a long time since I have read a story that had to do with the Underground Railway. I have always been fascinated by stories related to this event in history. The brave souls that helped these people. So this is the reason that I was draw to check this book out. While I liked this book and the people in it a lot, I felt that I sharded a strong, instant connection with Eden than I did Sarah. This surprised me a bit as I thought due to my love with the past that I would share a quick connection with Sarah. There was something about Eden that made me feel for her. Maybe it was due to her loss and longinf ro a child of her own. Also Cleo, the neighbor girl was a charming addition to this book. As was Cricket, the dog. However as I got futher into the story, I did like Sarah and grew more interested in the past and the events. The switching between the past and the present and visa versa was a smooth transaction. An enjoyable read.
