I am reading The Echo Room now and there's a couple of maps. They are of indoor spaces, but they are still maps! Boy wakes up in room with no memory of how he got there. Story goes from there. Only 45 pages in so far but it will be a quick read, I think!
I went easy on this one. I read Blood on the River by Elisa Carbone. It's middle grade about Jamestown, but I still learned so much.
I’m about to read The Alice Network by Kate Quinn, and I just saw that it has a map of France in the beginning!
I read Geography Through Art by Jeffus and Aramini. My daughter is working through the projects, but I read the book to get a sense of what she will be doing. I am listening to Origin Story by David Christian and he uses the metaphor of a map / globe to talk about events / big history.
Combining with my March Through History Readathon, putting Across the Wide and Lonesome Prairie: The Oregon Trail Diary of Hattie Campbell in for this one. A great and easy middle grade fiction to read too!
We read Lionboy for my daughter's book club. Good story but abrupt ending. Be prepared to read the whole trilogy (although we stopped because I had our next books lined up already).
