An epic middle-grade adventure from Jonathan Auxier-the New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of The Night Gardener and Sweep-will take readers to the very ends of the earth . . . and beyondSince 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 who 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. 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 readers of all ages to sail beyond the edges of the map into a world of magic, myth, and boundless adventure.
