The Last Mapshop of Hollow Lane
In a city where maps can be revised to change what people remember, sixteen-year-old Elin Vale works in her uncle’s fading mapshop and discovers that one unfinished atlas is quietly rewriting the streets around her. When the map begins erasing places, people, and the truth about her missing sister, Elin has to decide whether to preserve the city as it is or let it become something stranger and more dangerous.
