What a wonderful ride of a story!
Sai Mudawan is an assistant to the master mapmaker, Paiyoon Wongyai, when the mapmaker asks her to come along on a mapmaking journey through an unexplored sea. Sai has a series of adventures that keep the reader guessing about what is going to happen next.
A complete delight!
A sea story with a lot of depth, commentary on colonialism and classism, adventure, and even a dragon. I LOVED this. Also just look at the cover. So beautiful!
OOh yes this was a really fun nautical adventure yet also a commentary on colonialism! Really appreciated it for being thought-provoking but without such clear-cut answers as some other books might have provided. Would be great for class discussions or talking about at bedtime.
