Mapmakers and the Lost Magic by Cameron Chittock, Amanda Castillo

4.0

When all she wants is to see the world, Alidade is stuck within the town of Alden’s limits. The Night Coats are the overseers and the townsfolk just worker bees. But when a magical doorknob appears on a tree in the forest, a world of magic opens up and the real adventure begins.

I loved the characters in Mapmakers and the Lost Magic. We have Alidade who never takes no for an answer, Lewis who will always be her friend, no matter what, and there’s Blue, the Memri, a magical animal that guides them. Together they hope to bring back the lost art of Mapmaking and stop the Night Coats.

I really enjoyed the story. It was so full of magic and adventure, as well as an underlying meaning about finding yourself, which definitely put a smile on my face.
