Ivy absolutely loved this clever, funny fantasy adventure — the kind of book that starts slow but then becomes impossible to put down. She's already planning to dive into the rest of the series.

Ivy's Review

The Map of Everywhere can take you anywhere. To Fin, an orphan who no one can remember, it is the key to help him find his mother. To Marrill, it's the only way to find her way back home after getting stranded on the magical Pirate Stream. But they aren't the only ones looking for it. An evil, insane, wizard is after the Map, and if Marrill and Fin can't stop him, it will result in the destruction of everything.

I really enjoyed this book. I thought it was clever and funny, but you have to stick with it. At the beginning, it drags a little, but once you get a little less than halfway through, it becomes a lot more interesting. This is not one of those books that you can really tell if you like it or not by reading the first couple of chapters.

I personally really like that it switches perspectives from Forgettable Fin to Poison Fire (you'll get it if you read it) Marrill. I would definitely read this again and the rest of the series. I'm going to start Book Two after I finish this. If you like fantasy, magic, and a dash of suspense and humor, you will love this book.

About This Book

Adventure, magic, and hilarity collide in New York Times bestselling author Carrie Ryan and John Parke Davis's first book in a fantastical series. To Master Thief Fin, an orphan from the murky pirate world of the Khaznot Quay, the Map is the key to finding his mother. To suburban schoolgirl Marrill, it's her only way home after getting stranded on the Pirate Stream, the magical waterway that connects every world in creation. With the help of a bumbling wizard and his crew, they must scour the many worlds of the Pirate Stream to gather the pieces of the Map to Everywhere--but they aren't the only ones looking. A sinister figure is hot on their tail, and if they can't beat his ghostly ship to find the Map, it could mean the destruction of everything they hold dear! Heart-pounding escapades and a colorful cast of characters will have readers setting sail through this wholly original and unforgettable tale.
