The phrase "uncharted terrain" takes on a whole new meaning in this map-loving middle grade novel from Andrew Clements! Maps enchant Alton Barnes. Since he was a young child, he has adored them for reasons other than their location. He enjoys both reading and drawing maps since they provide more information than just locations. Maps that explain much more, such as what he truly feels of his buddies, are available in addition to the standard "point A to point B" ones. also educators. even the director. So there's big trouble ahead when Alton's maps are stolen from his locker. and to get out of it, he'll need some crazy cartography abilities.
