The Last Mapmaker

fullDescription

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."

     Starred review from February 14, 2022
     Soontornvat’s (A Wish in the Dark) imaginative Thai-inspired fantasy centers 12-year-old Sodsai, who goes by Sai and assists the royal navy’s Master Mapmaker in the fictional Kingdom of Mangkon. While other kids gained Assistantships through familial connections, Sai landed hers by chance, purposefully obscuring her modest background. When the queen announces “a venture to extend the boundaries and glory” of Mangkon, with a hefty prize for those who succeed, Paiyoon invites Sai, who agrees immediately. She’s desperate to leave her “lowlife” father and delay the traditional 13th birthday ceremony during which kids are given a lineal, a bracelet whose gold links represent each generation of ancestors—“ones you were proud to claim.” Through Paiyoon’s growing guilt about his role in the empire’s expansion, Soontornvat deftly discusses themes of colonization and “discovery,” complicating Sai’s desire to visit the fabled Great Southern Continent, rumored home to dragons. Employing a presumed Asian cast of well-developed crew members with various skin tones and plenty of emotional depth, this high seas adventure deftly explores complex power dynamics and class hierarchies while maintaining a fast-paced clip. Ages 8–12. Agent: Stephanie Fretwell-Hill, Red Fox Literary.

   • content: Sura Siu captivates as she narrates this breathtaking seafaring adventure. Sai is a bright-voiced, bold 12-year-old girl who is hoping to carve a new course for her life and leave her past behind. She's thrilled when her assistantship to the bristly, demanding mapmaker Paiyoon yields an opportunity to join an expedition charting the Southern seas for the Mangkon kingdom. Sai soon hears rumors of a secret, dangerous plan to divert their course to find the Sunderlands, a fabled continent guarded by dragons. Soontornvat's Thai-inspired fantasy world is one listeners will adore exploring, and Siu brings it to life beautifully. Siu amps up the pace as Sai faces storms, betrayal, and more as she uses all her strengths to chase her dreams--and do what's right. E.E.C. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine

     Starred review from August 1, 2022
     

     Gr 3-7-Thai American and double Newbery Honoree Soontornvat gets culturally and linguistically matched with Thai-fluent, (self-described) "blended" Asian American (of Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese heritage) Sura Siu for engrossing high-seas exploits in search of mythical lands. For 12-year-old Sai, being Master Mapmaker Paiyoon's assistant means daily joy in her work and relentless fear of her lowly background being discovered. Joining Paiyoon on a royal voyage to chart southern waters is a dream come true-and not only because she'll be able to delay her mandated 13th-birthday reveal of her damning lineage. Of course, mutiny wasn't part of the route. Siu agilely adapts to a myriad of characters, from tenacious Sai, patient Paiyoon, manipulative father Mud, charismatic Miss Rian; she's especially entertaining as "curse-slinging" stowaway Bo. VERDICT Soontornvat's fans will surely appreciate access via multiple mediums; Siu assures listeners chills and thrills.
