'In this middle-grade fantasy audiobook narrated by Emily Wheaton, 13-year-old Grace longs to go on missions to protect the citizens of Moreland, just like her older brother and their mother. When the opportunity unexpectedly presents itself, Grace jumps at the chance – unbeknownst to her family. Both the production itself and the story's chapters begin with the same light, airy tune that is equally pleasing to the ear and suitable for Grace's adventure. With a lively pace and deliberate enunciation, Wheaton provides a clear and precise performance. She uses her talents to capture the characters' personalities, making individuals distinct. Listeners will be delightfully entertained by Wheaton's narration of this fantastical tale.'

A thrilling tale of adventure, magic and courage from award-winning author Vashti Hardy!

‘Warden Griffin at your service. Can I ask if you’ve seen a monster in the area …?’ Grace’s family are wardens of the Griffin Map, using its teleport technology to fight crimes across Moreland. Although Grace is still too young, she longs to go on missions herself. After all, if her brother, Bren, can do it, why can’t she? So when Grace finds herself alone with the map as a distress call comes in, she jumps at the change to prove she’s up to the task. But the map transports Grace to a remote village where nothing is quite as it seems … Has she taken on more than she can handle?

'... combines the very best of many children's classics in a fresh and highly original way that pulls the [listener] into the world and doesn't let them go until the end.'
