Editorial Reviews:
Synopsis:

Based on the author's childhood in Kazakhstan, where he lived as a Polish refugee during World War II, this gripping story follows a young boy as he, after spending hours studying his father's world map, escapes the misery of refugee life by using his imagination to travel to exotic places. 35,000 first printing.


Review:

"Shulevitz's rhythmic, first-person narrative reads like a fable for young children...Whether enjoyed as a reflection of readers' own imaginative travels or used as creative entrée to classroom geography units, this simple, poignant offering will transport children as surely as the map it celebrates."

Booklist, 5/1/2008

Review:

"In framing his own story, replacing autobiographical fact with archetypal forms, Shulevitz keeps the focus on the inner world that he has so consistently illuminated. Once again, he reminds us that folly is not the opposite of wisdom, but so close a relative that the two are often mistaken."

Elizabeth Devereaux, New York Times Book Review, 5/11/2008
