Synopsis
Reissue of the dazzling sequel to the award-winning MapHead. If you could go anywhere do anything - where would you go? What would you do? This is the dilemma facing MapHead on his return to Rubytown from his home in the Subtle World. Materializing in a multi-storey car park, he is drawn to the Stamp family, for whom, he feels, he has a vital task to perform. But what? And how? MapHead quickly makes friends with Jack Stamp, but in doing so crosses a boundary that should not be crossed. Using his powers to flash maps across his head is one thing, but using them to intrude into people's lives is something else. That can only cause problems - big problems. Soon MapHead finds himself up the multi without a ticket - and, this time, without his dad to help him!
