Why should people read the book The Mapmaker Chronicles. People should read the mapmaker chronicles because if you like adventure books then this is a good one. The book its self is about a 12 year old boy named Quinn, who gets sent to the castle with 9 other boys and they learn the way of the world. Then three boys are chosen to go to sea and each boy choose another boy to go with them. The group of two boys each go on a ship and go out to sea and start to map the world. But it’s a really good book that you might want to get the whole series because its a cliffhanger at the end of each book. But to be honest I have only read the first one, its a really addicting book.
