“<\/span>Tait has gloriously met the standards set precedent in the first book in the series with this sequel.

\u201cThe work of Australian author A L Tait, The Mapmaker Chronicles is a fantastic series for readers who love stories filled with adventure and suspense. The story has a slight edge of danger that is just enough to thrill the reader and keep pages turning.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>

\u201cThe story unfolds in such a gripping way that I found this second book in the series almost impossible to put down and read 95% at one sitting. This series is a great read by an Australian author and children will be transported to a world of action and human endeavour in a most exciting and satisfying way \u2026 Book Three will be eagerly awaited.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/em>\u00a0<\/span>
