About this listen

This epic middle-grade adventure—companion to Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes and Sophie Quire and the Last Storyguard—will take listeners to the very ends of the earth . . . and beyond.

From the New York Times best-selling and award-winning author of The Night Gardener and Sweep.

The War of the Maps is a breathtaking fantasy in the vein of His Dark Materials and The Last Battle that dares to give new answers to age-old questions—inviting listeners of all ages to sail beyond the edges of the map into a world of magic, myth, and boundless adventure.

Since time before time, two opposing forces have been locked in an endless battle: It is the war between magic and reason—between what if and what is. And the victor will not just shape the future but the very nature of reality.

Peter Nimble and Sophie Quire have spent the last four years fighting to protect a world of magic from the insidious, unstoppable forces of “progress.” But, every day, the wonders that once surrounded them are vanishing. Lurking behind this transformation is a mysterious group called The League of Maps that seems to hold the answers.

As Peter and Sophie fight to untangle this mystery, they find themselves thrown into opposing sides of a vast war that stretches from the very beginning of humanity and into our present age.

This story was woke, full of subtle agenda and just not what I expected after loving all the other books the author wrote. I didn’t appreciate any of those things. I didn’t enjoy how overwritten it was and I feel that all it tells kids is that hearts break, life sucks and there is little hope. Maybe it’s just me but I wish I’d stopped at the Sophie Quire book.

Great narration for a mediocre story
