This Way Up - When Maps go Wrong (and why it matters)

By Mark Cooper-Jones and Jay Foreman

4 stars

Bought this book because the whole family love the Map Men series on YouTube - especially the children. They produced a book about maps and how they came about in a number of settings, including the first chapter about a map that deleted a country (that country being Aotearoa!). I really enjoyed the book, it was funny, educational and well-written, but I have the advantage of being both a bit of a nerd as well as British - a couple of the chapters relate to the UK and may not make sense to people from this deleted country. I suppose I should let the kids fight over who's next to read it...
Every Day's a Good Day

By William Pike

3 stars

Written for older children, but I enjoyed it as an adult. Great research into William Pike before our students take part in the William Pike Challenge next year. A very impressive story of resilience.
