The Map Trap -- Andrew Clements

<b>This map-tastic middle grade story from Andrew Clements gives the phrase "uncharted territory" a whole new meaning!</b> <p/>Alton Barnes loves maps. He's loved them ever since he was little, and not just for the geography. Because maps contain more information than just locations, and that's why he likes to draw them as well as read them.

Even the principal. <p/>So when Alton's maps are stolen from his locker, there's serious trouble on the horizon...and he'll need some serious cartographic skills to escape it. <p/>From "a genius of gentle, high-concept tales set in suburban middle schools" (<i>The New York Times</i>), this stand-alone story is off the charts.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Andrew Clements<br><b>Publisher:</b> Atheneum Books<br><b>Published:</b> 07/26/2016<br><b>Pages:</b> 160<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.25lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.40h x 5.10w x 0.50d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781416997283<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 9-12<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 5.3<br><b>Point Value:</b> 3<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Middle Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>167613 / Map Trap<br><br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>Andrew Clements (1949-2019) was the author of the enormously popular <i>Frindle</i>.
