Sophia Tims comes from a family of explorers and cartologers who, for generations, have been traveling and mapping the New World—a world changed by the Great Disruption of 1799, when all the continents were flung into different time periods. Eight years ago, Sophia's parents left her with her uncle Shadrack, the foremost cartologer in Boston, and went on an urgent mission. They never returned.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen Shadrack is kidnapped. Sophia must search for him with the help of Theo, a refugee from the West. Together they travel over rough terrain and uncharted ocean, encounter pirates and traders, and rely on a combination of Shadrack’s maps, common sense, and Sophia's unusual powers of observation. Little do they know that their lives are in as much danger as Shadrack's.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA \u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Bestseller\u003cbr\u003eAn IndieBound National Bestseller\u003cbr\u003eA Summer\/Fall 2014 Indies Introduce New Voices Selection\u003cbr\u003eA Top Ten Kid’s Next Selection\u003cbr\u003eA \u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e Flying Start\u003cbr\u003eA \u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e Summer Book Club Selection\u003cbr\u003eA Junior Library Guild Selection\u003cbr\u003eOne of \u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e’s Best Summer Reads\u003cbr\u003eAn Amazon Summer 2014 Reading Selection\u003cbr\u003eAn Amazon Top 20 Children’s\/YA Book of 2014\u003cbr\u003eAn ABC Best Book of 2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* “Brilliant in concept, breathtaking in scale and stellar in its worldbuilding; this is a world never before seen in fiction . . .
