Praise for Mapmaker

“[Bomback and Craze’s] clever and resourceful heroine . . . [fuses] Mia Thermopolis with Jason Bourne . . . Taut and techy . . . Fair warning: after finishing Mapmaker, you might find yourself looking over your shoulder or leaving that smartphone at home for a few days. “
—The Christian Science Monitor

“Haunting and compelling—Tanya repeatedly thinks she is successfully hiding only to discover that there is really no such thing as off the grid . . . tech-inspired readers will love the idea of MapOut, and they’ll appreciate the point that the impact of new technology depends on who’s wielding it.”
—The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
