The Year the Maps Changed is intelligently written. The use of maps as a metaphor is cleverly referenced, taking the reader even deeper into the characters' conflicts. You'll enjoy this one. * WA [PRINT] West Australian [AUDIENCE: 135,996 ASR: AUD 6,504] *
These are really three dimensional characters who react and think in believable ways. * [ONLINE] www.readplus.com.au *
Threaded together with small acts of human kindness, The Year the Maps Changed is not only an enjoyable but important story that will resonate with Australians young and old. * [ONLINE] Kill Your Darlings *
