Sal, Joe, Francie and Humphrey Santander are mapmakers looking for their father, a famous explorer who disappeared on his last expedition. Their search takes them to Cruxcia, where the people are fighting to protect their land. The Santanders’ mapping skills may be the missing piece in the Cruxcian race to save the ancient valley—and the key to reuniting their family.

• Contemporary themes: revolution, environment, Indigenous land ownership
• A new country, an urgent trial, a prison escape, a family reunited…
• Stand-alone follow-up to The Mapmakers’ Race
