This map-tastic middle grade story from Andrew Clements gives the phrase “uncharted territory” a whole new meaning!
Alton Barnes loves maps. He’s loved them ever since he was little, and not just for the geography. Because maps contain more information than just locations, and that’s why he likes to draw them as well as read them. Regular “point A to point B” ones, sure, but also maps that explain a whole lot more—like what he really thinks about his friends. And teachers. Even the principal.
So when Alton’s maps are stolen from his locker, there’s serious trouble on the horizon…and he’ll need some serious cartographic skills to escape it.
From “a genius of gentle, high-concept tales set in suburban middle schools” (The New York Times), this stand-alone story is off the charts.

From School Library Journal
Gr 3–6—Alton Ziegler is crazy about maps. He particularly loves the way they can visually display any manner of information in a variety of ways. Surreptitiously, he collects data and creats humorous maps detailing such trivia as the popularity of lunchroom tables (depicted as a topographical map of the cafeteria) or a weather map of a teacher's clothes. Striped tie today? Look out—the probability of a pop quiz is high. He never meant for anyone to see his collection, but when it's "mapnapped," there's no telling where the road might lead. Keith Nobbs is perfectly cast as the narrator. He creates a pensive Alton that fits the mood of the story. Clements's (In Harm's Way) use of subjective third-person narration is interesting in that the listener is privy to the inner concerns not only of Alton but of his teacher Miss Wheeling as well. Rarely is a teacher's perspective presented with such honesty and clarity in a middle grade novel. Though Nobbs's voice sometimes cracks when portraying female characters, his delivery, nonetheless, is still pleasing and believable. The Map Trap is a thoughtful, holistic look at the middle school environment that will have wide appeal.—Lisa Taylor, Ocean County Library, NJ
Unknown
Seven-year-old Alton, a longtime map enthusiast, finds ways to interpret all kinds of information and
observations though mapmaking. With a good heart but few friends, he’s used to being a loner. After
losing a packet of maps that might make trouble for him at school, Alton finds an unexpected ally in his
quest to find them again. Meanwhile, he resolves to square himself with the people whose traits are
represented on the missing maps. In the process, he learns the power of an honest apology. The book gets
off to a slow start, partly because events initially unfold from a teacher’s point of view and partly because
Clements tends to “tell” rather than “show” in many passages. The narrative becomes more involving
when Alton takes center stage, and the mystery plot thickens. Were the maps lost or stolen? Who is the
blackmailer? Though some will find the story’s ending unsatisfying, Alton is an appealing character in an
accessible chapter book. (Booklist Online September 2014)

My 7 year old daughter and I loved this story
By Marisa Miller
My 7 year old daughter and I loved this story. The main character is a boy of considerable character who (SPOILER ALERT) solves his challenge courageously through honesty and sincere apologizing. I think this is a great book for imparting values. Alton is a very likable, gentle boy, but he isn't perfect (tells some lies, thinks and writes some meanish things about others). He is, however, very self-aware and self-correcting, which is perhaps unrealistic but at least relatable to our childrens' "best selves." We learned so much about maps and incidentals along the way, which is a bonus.
Not a purchase; we borrowed it.

Maps, Maps, Hundreds of Maps!
By J. Grambo
Alton loves maps. His bedroom is wallpapered with them! He loves drawing them, too, but his own maps are different than road maps. He drew a map of his teacher's brain by noticing how often she talked about dogs, or the metric system, or her little brother, or vacations. He mapped the popularity of various brands of athletic shoes among his classmates, and he made a smell-map of the school: where you would find each of 29 different smells in the building. He made a popularity map of lunch room seating, and dozens more maps, and he kept them all secret, because he did not want to make people mad when they see how much he watched them. Then someone stole his secret folder where he kept his maps, and is making demands that Alton knows will get him in trouble. How can he get his maps back?
Although not many kids love maps and charts, they all can relate to noticing how often someone says "um," or how many days in a row a teacher wears the same tie. They might not make a mountains-to-plains chart of the tallest and shortest kids in the class, but they do notice them. And they all will be curious about how Alton can extricate himself from an embarrassing situation.
Another great story from the popular middle-grade author of Frindle and No Talking. Ages 8-12.

A Great Book For Any Clements Fan
By Kindle Customer
This is a great, original book that will surely make any fan of Clements absorbed for ages. This book is set in the view of Alton Ziegler, A fifth grader with an obsession for maps. He makes his own maps, but some show information besides location. They contain personal and even embarrasing information about other people, like a map that showed the inside of one of his teacher's brain, which was largely allocated to Golden Retrievers. But when someone steals these maps and starts sending him blackmail orders that say "Do it or your maps go public", it's up to him to get them back from the mapnapper before it's to late.
