4.0 out of 5 stars More Than Just a Missing Map Mystery!, June 26, 1999

By A Customer

Since I had to add to my library with my own money, I couldn't purchase this whole series after I read them back in sixth grade. I only bought this one, and today at seventeen, I still have it! I used to re-read all of "Missing Map" over and over, but I especially loved Megan--each of her lines, her personality--and of course in sixth grade I was fascinated by her blindness and all the things she was able to do anyway. Megan manages to "see" things other people miss, even without her eyes. This is a great story to acquaint girls 5th--7th grade with the blind and their abilities as well as their limitations. And Megan is more than just a story pawn--she's a real person, just like Kate and everyone else. No girl who reads this book will want to avoid people like Megan; instead, she'll be eager to get to know them, knowing that they're just as important as anybody else.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great story, Great characters!, May 19, 2008

By	Wendy Sparkes "Author of One Starry Night" (Suffolk, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I too, loved this book when I was a girl, & read it over & over. I enjoyed the whole series, but this was one of my favourites. Megan's blindness is dealt with very well and I found it interesting how she learned to rely on other senses - touch, smell & hearing - to help her.
As a Christian preteen I was finding reading material sadly lacking - then I was given the 1st in the series of this book. The characters love God, & they live out their faith, having to make decisions based on how they can please God, sometimes having to learn from their mistakes. Although set at the time Norweigan & Swedish immigrants were coming to America the lessons of faith are still relevant today.
A series I highly recommend!
