The Map to Myself

<p>Fifteen-year-old Kira Hale maps safe routes to avoid crowds-until a brass compass and a blank quadrant labeled Here Be You send her into Northbridge's misty canals. With audio-savvy Ivy and photographer Miles she builds a community Story Atlas of desire paths and a forgotten iron footbridge worth saving. A flood a public hearing and family pressures force Kira to speak for places-and for herself. A tender coming-of-age about anxiety belonging and charting who you are revision by revision one walked line at a time.</p><p> </p>
