-School Library Journal [starred review]
"Ross covers plenty of historical ground in this wide-ranging discussion of maps and mapmakers.... An eclectic presentation...fascinating to young people..."
-Booklist
"In 13 chapters (or stories), Ross charts a route, notable for its verve, vitality and scholarship, from There to Here.... Among Ross's many attributes as a writer is her ability to place her readers inside the story, to envelop them with telling fragments and delectable details.... [N]ew worlds will be sensed if not seen by her readers as they travel with her from There to Here."
-The Globe and Mail
