Mapmakers and the Lost Magic: (A Graphic Novel) | Cameron Chittock, Amanda Castillo

2 posts | 3 read | 2 to read

A young girl finds herself faced with an impossible choice—run away from her beloved valley, or unleash a hidden magic and become a Mapmaker to save her home from its new overlords. For centuries, the Mapmakers kept peace in the Valley, but they’ve long since disappeared. Now the Night Coats hold power with an iron grip—there are only rules, punishments, and consequences. Until one night, on the run from the Night Coats (again), after breaking another rule (again), Alidade stumbles upon a secret door leading to a magical hideaway that belongs to the Mapmakers. There, she finds a map of her home and accidentally brings to life Blue, a magical creature called a memri who is meant to protect the Valley. Blue needs Alidade’s help to find the Mapmakers and save the Valley from the Night Coats! But the Mapmakers are long gone. Alidade has a choice: leave the Valley like she’s always wanted...or become a Mapmaker and save the only home she’s ever known. This is the first book in a thrilling series of adventures where Alidade discovers the world around her as she goes on a fantastical journey.

Alidade and Lewis live in a rustic village under the rule of the Night Coats who would prefer that the villagers did what they were toldā€¦ but Adidade has questions, & she won‘t be deterred from asking themā€¦ especially after she finds a tree with a door handle in the woods and a map that a magical talking bird flies out of. Lewis would prefer to follow the rules but he chose the wrong bestie for that. This is a series opener, & was rather charming.

A town entirely focused on keeping their heads down is thrown into turmoil when one child wants to explore beyond the boundaries allowed by the military occupation.

This was a beautiful little exploration of some deep themes like resistance against an occupying force, the turmoil between a desire to stay home and the desire to explore, & grief. It was pretty basic, no twists, good guys are good, bad guys are bad. Adorable art style. š•š•š•š•š‘
