In the city of Veritas, everything is sensible. So sensible, in fact, that color itself has vanished, leaving a world of dull, oppressive gray.
But Lyra Meridian, a cartographer's daughter, knows the world should be wild, messy, and full of adventure. When her own fiery-red scarf turns gray, Lyra knows the rules have gone too far. Someone has stolen the color!
Armed with her father's maps and a stubborn, magic-finding compass, nine-year-old Lyra must break every rule. She'll face the formidable Gray Coats and journey to the Wobbly Wilds, all to find the thief who wants to make the world sensible forever.
The Cartographer's Daughter: Book 1, The Color Thief is a magical adventure for listeners aged 7-9. It's a story of courage, wildness, and rediscovering the glorious, untidy truth of the world. Because sometimes, a splash of color is all it takes to redraw the map.
