The Last Mapmaker, by Christina Soontornvat

A perfectly respectable secondary-world fantasy middle grade book, about a girl who's an apprentice mapmaker who has to keep her low-born background secret, and sets out on a shipboard journey to discover a fabled lost continent. Pretty predictable, and didn't really speak to me, but overall well done and I think it would be very good for people who are in the actual age category it's meant for.

Aw, well, it sounds like a great concept, at least.

Just from the description, that sounds like something I would have loved at 10.
