Praise for Mapmaker

"[Bomback and Craze's] clever and resourceful heroine . . . [fuses] Mia Thermopolis with Jason Bourne . . . Taut and techy . . . Fair warning: after finishing Mapmaker, you might find yourself looking over your shoulder or leaving that smartphone at home for a few days. "
—The Christian Science Monitor

"Haunting and compelling—Tanya repeatedly thinks she is successfully hiding only to discover that there is really no such thing as off the grid . . . tech-inspired readers will love the idea of MapOut, and they’ll appreciate the point that the impact of new technology depends on who’s wielding it."
—The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books 

"Mapmaker is the terrifying lovechild of swashbuckling exploration and ruthless human surveillance. You'll want to have your atlas handy, your cyber smokescreen installed and your wits about you for this one."
—Elizabeth Kiem, author of Dancer, Daughter, Traitor, Spy

"Bomback and Craze show us the world through the eyes of a young woman whose unique and remarkable gift is also a terrible burden. Mapmaker expertly brings the paranoid thriller into the age of surveillance, and the result is both moving and chilling.”
—D.B. Weiss, co-creator, writer, and producer of Game of Thrones

"Mapmaker is a must-read thriller, with a courageous and intelligent heroine, a compelling mystery, and an ending that will leave you hungry for more. Fast-paced, smart, and dangerous—I couldn’t put it down!"
—Jennifer A. Nielsen, New York Times bestselling author of The False Prince

"Bomback and Craze whip up a suspense-laden, modern mystery that pulls on the current obsession with technology, mapping, and tracking people’s locations—and how innocently supplied data can be turned to a darker purpose."
—Booklist

"Fans of Michelle Gagnon’s Don’t Turn Around will enjoy this work for its exploration of the dangers of a technology-connected world . . . [an] action-packed, plot-centric thriller."

"Fast paced and well executed, this mystery thriller will have readers devouring page after page . . . A deep and dark look at technology and where it might be headed, with a commentary on how disappearing in our modern world is far more difficult than it once was."
—VOYA

"A thriller that offers a frightening glimpse into how technology can be abused . . . Thought-provoking."
—Publishers Weekly
