This is the first book in a new series called Poptropica. In this graphic novel, Mystery Of The Map, three children, Mya, Oliver and Jorge, are dropped off on a mysterious island that seems to be years in the past. They find dodo birds, sabre-toothed tigers and a viking ship. While running from the

sabre-tooth, they find a type of fort inhabited by vikings. Meanwhile, the balloon operator is sneaking around looking for a map. How are they going to get off this island? Can they get back to the present? The kids end up being captured by the vikings until they get a chance to escape. The novel ends with the three of them escaping on the viking ship with the map. What is next in this series?

I have always loved graphic novels, especially if they get kids to read. This one is perfect for young readers who love a sense of adventure. I especially love the idea of history being introduced in this way. Hopefully this will tweak the interest in specific topics that children will search out other books and sources to read. This is a book that should be in school and public libraries. Teachers would love to have these books in their class libraries as well. I recommend this book to middle grade students.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
