A Map of the Known World by Lisa Ann Sandell
5.0
Summary - Cora Bradley, a young female girl who is about to start Lincoln Grove High as a freshman. Her brother, Nate Bradley would have been in his senior year of high school. He ended up dying in a car accident with his best friend,Damian, being able to walk away from the crash unharmed. When Cora enters her classes all the teachers think that instead of her being in the class, its her brother. So every waking day she is reminded of her older brother. She ends up meeting with Damian and they both work on a project for their Art class. Cora mostly draws maps. Give her a city and she will draw that as a map. Throughout the year Cora has to over come the challenges of everyday life, dealing with her parents who are not acting like her parents, and school.
Review - I love Lisa Ann Sandell books for the purpose that they can teach people valuable lessons. In A Map of the Known World, she has the lesson that even though a special person is gone from your life doesn’t mean you have to sit around feeling sorry that you could never be very close to that person. The characters are like your best friends. You can relate to what they are going through. I love how with each different chapter something is going to happen that nobody could have predicted. It kept me guessing for quite a while. With the setting, it is all around Cora’s hometown. There are different places that you come to find out that are important to the ending of the book. I really did enjoy reading this book. At first I thought this book would be in verse like her other two books were. I was really surprised when it was not in verse. I like both of the writing styles in her writing for it shows that she does not just write a book in verse. She can write in any style. If you like stories about finding about yourself and just being able to relate to the characters then I would definitely recommend this book for you.
