For years Grace's family have been wardens of the Griffin map, using its teleport technology to help people and fight crime across the land of Moreland. At thirteen, Grace is too young become a warden, but she longs to go on missions herself. After all, if her brother Bren can do it, why can't she? So when Grace finds herself alone with the map when a distress call comes in, she jumps at the chance to prove she's up to the task. But the map transports Grace to a remote village where nothing is quite as it seems. Has she landed right in the middle of a treacherous scheme?

      Hardy (the Brightstorm Twins series) presents a gentle and cozy series opener in this steampunk-tinged adventure. For
      generations, 13-year-old Grace Griffin’s family has acted as guardians of a map with teleportation abilities. Assisted by talking robotic raven Watson, the Griffins respond to alerts and aid people in need throughout Moreland. Despite being told she’s too young, she’s desperate to take on full warden duties like her 15-year-old brother, Bren. With only Watson as her companion, Grace takes advantage of Bren’s distraction to access the map and lands among villagers who claim that a monster is harassing the town. Her applied training soon alerts her to disturbing inconsistencies in the scenario. And when she realizes that her re-compass—the only thing that can bring her home—is missing, she becomes stranded. Though Grace’s impetuous rule-breaking propels the plot, it’s her wit and tenacity to redeem herself and help her family that shines brightest. Midcentury-style b&w illustrations by Smillie (How to Be a Princess) depicting action sequences add suspense. The cast appears white. Ages 8–12. Agent: Kate Shaw, Shaw Agency.
