The Girl of Ink and Stars by Kiran Millwood Hargrave
4.0
A really lovely children's book.
I only bought The Girl of Ink and Starts because it's a beautiful looking book. I loved the cover and the inside is also very pretty. I'm very glad I bought it.
The story centres around Isabella, a cartographer's daughter, living on an island called Joya; ruled by her best friend's tyrant of a father. It's a world full of magic, mystery and dangers. And maps! When a girl is found murdered, Isabella and her best friend Lupe, delve deep into their island to try and find out what really happened.
The world building was nicely done and well explained. The two central female characters are clever, strong and independent. Excellent role models for girls and boys alike.
