Bookseller recommendation
“This Thai-inspired historical fantasy follows 12-year-old Sai, a conman's daughter who pretends to be from a noble family in order to become the apprentice to the empire's most famous mapmaker. When Sai is invited to join him on a voyage to discover the fabled dragon-infested Sunderlands, Sai discovers that she's not the only one with a secret and that the empire's 'discoveries' may not be all that groundbreaking after all... Highly recommended for anyone interested in STEM or sea voyages, mythical creatures or criticisms of colonialism! ”
— Megan • Underground Books
Summary
A Newbery Honor Book
“As assistant to Mangkon’s most celebrated mapmaker, twelve-year-old Sai plays the part of a well-bred young lady with a glittering future. In reality, her father is a conman—and in a kingdom where the status of one’s ancestors dictates their social position, the truth could ruin her. Sai seizes the chance to join an expedition to chart the southern seas, but she isn’t the only one aboard with secrets. When Sai learns that the ship might be heading for the fabled Sunderlands—a land of dragons, dangers, and riches beyond imagining—she must weigh the cost of her dreams. Vivid, suspenseful, and thought-provoking, this tale of identity and integrity is as beautiful and intricate as the maps of old.”
