<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Following maps her grandmother drew before she disappeared, Maya Loop, the brave, blue-haired girl from Baltimore, has to depend on her wits and bravery to face the alien race of Landions who have taken her grandmother and best friends to an underground world of creatures living beyond the limits of time. The Landions are not only trying to end the human race but erase them completely. A delightfully fast-paced story crackling with energy, <em>Maya Loop</em> meets young readers in the wide-open world of being a kid where everything feels like magic.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Middle graders will find Maya thoughtful and intriguing. As her adventure traverses otherworldly realms, the fantasy component of her encounters lends to a powerful exploration of her evolving strengths and ability to not just adjust, but break free of the dead-end loop her former life became.</p><p> As she discovers the truths surrounding her family heritage and her abilities ("<em>only the Loops can restart the clock</em>")<em>, </em> she faces new choices that lead her to question what she really wants from her life.</p><p>Especially powerful passages explore her psyche and the difficult choices involved in saving not just herself, but others: <em>"An old anger swells in my gut. The kind I feel when kids push other kids around in the halls or take their lunch or steal their backpacks. The anger and fear that arises when I'm not sure I can make the situation right. The anger of helplessness. Bullies feed off of it. I try to swallow it back, but it stays. I don't know what to do. My sketchpad is in my hand, but it's not an option. Not now. Drawing a door will get me out of this mess but it leaves everyone else behind. Drawing a door doesn't prevent the Landions from finding that one final piece and erasing us all."</em></p><p>The result is a story driven by Maya's changing emotions, life, and abilities that will draw readers also challenged to accept new circumstances, relationships, and perceptions about life and its purposes.</p><p>Readers interested in a passionate journey of determination and evolving wisdom will find <em>Maya Loop</em> unpredictable, driven by understandable emotions and extraordinary events that lead Maya to a new form of determination and courage.</p><p>D.
