Buy this book!,
By "klapuk" (Columbia, CT United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Map That Breathed (Hardcover)
Wow! I couldn't put this book down! The characters are real and likeable, just curious enough to get in trouble but smart enough to find a way out. It was a quick read, but satisfying. As a long-time educator, I found it intriguing: beautiful woven passages, sophisticated language yet incredibly readable. It was exciting, emotional and compassionate. I really cared about the characters. I can't wait to share it with my students.

LOVED THIS BOOK,
By Ann Bonney (New Suffolk, Long Island) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Map That Breathed (Hardcover)
It's hard to find an entertaining, smart book for my kids but I saw that this one had won the New York Public Library award for the Teen Age and thought I'd give it a try. I usually skim the books I buy for my two daughters, but this one pulled me in; I read it thoroughly cover to cover. Liz and Beth both loved it and are waiting for the sequel. Hurry, Ms. Gideon! You have young fans on the edge of their seats!

A sequel please!!!,
By Christine Christobal "reidunsmom" (Petaluma, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Map That Breathed (Hardcover)
I bought The Map That Breathed to read to my kids who crave stories of adventure. Once we dove in I realized this book and its colorful worlds were something special. Long after the kids fell asleep I followed this talented writer on a surreal journey in and out of doorways to worlds more colorful than our own. We loved the characters, the worlds and the vivid scenery, and can't wait for a sequel so we can find out more about the Nora and Billy, their future travels and the aftermath in the wake of the Provisioner. I highly recommend this book for kids 7 and up as the villain and his modus operandi maybe a little intense for younger readers.
