Maras 3 STARS FOR AUDIO5 START FOR STORYMy dyslexic middle school son discovered The "Map to Everywhere" while we were at the book store and we purchased the Audible Audio Book edition so he could listen to the audio while he followed along in the book. He has read the "Map to Everywhere" multiple times and was very excited about "City of Thirst".The "May to Everywhere" Audio edition read by John Glouchevitch was done fantastically. John brought great life to the characters with his story telling. As is often the case with a series audio the narrator often changes from book to book. "City of Thirst" is listed as being narrated by Pat Young but is actually narrated by Pat Young and Casey Holloway.In theory having two narrators would be a great way to present this book as each chapter alternates between the view of the two main characters. In practice this narration diminishes the delivery of the story. If you listen to "Map to Everywhere" and move directly into "City of Thirst" the characters immediately feel like different character. John Glouchevitch gives the main character Fin a charming accent that is not continued into "City of Thirst" by the new narrators.I understand that a new narrator cannot exactly mimic the voices of a previous narrator but Pat & Casey don't even follow each others delivery on the characters. The most noticeable example of this is how they deliver Ardent's lines. Each chapter the narrator switches and it sounds like you are listening to two different audio books.My last complaint is specifically on Pat Young's narration. Casey, and John both say 'the Been There Map to Everywhere' and Pat continuously pronounces it as the 'BenT There Map to Everywhere'.Carrie Ryan & John Parke Davis have written a tremendously enjoyable story, unfortunatlythe delivery of the audio presentation really takes away from the quality of that story.

By Stacy Renee City of Thirst is the delightful return to the Pirate Stream and all the worlds that it connects. This wonderful adventure will take you on a joy ride that you will not soon forget!Having been home from the Pirate Stream for six months, Marrill never expects to find herself back in that world of worlds. The wizard, Ardent, had said it would be nearly impossible and if the Pirate Stream ever touched her world again, it would mean that it was in danger. So it was a surprise when she found a stop sign with the words "YOU ARE NEEDED ON THE PIRATE STREAM MARRILL" scrawled across it. Followed by her babysitter, Remy, she attempts to get back to the stream the same way she got there the last time in 'The Map to Everywhere'. Before she knows it, they are both swept up by the stream in Remy's car and end up back on the Enterprising Kraken, a ship manned by pirats, the Ropebone Man, and Coll, it's captain. Reunited with Ardent, the Naysayer, and her best friend Fin, Marrill tries to figure out why she was brought back to the Pirate Stream, what that means for her world, and what, of all things, is the 'Iron Tide' and how will it affect them all?I was thrilled to continue this story. 'The Map to Everywhere' was my favorite read of 2015. It is fun, imaginative, and one heck of an adventure! 'City of Thirst' is just as fun and unique and takes us on an even more pressing journey. I highly recommend these books to anyone who enjoys a fun fantasy adventure.While I loved this book just as much and maybe even a little more than 'The Map to Everywhere', there were a few little things that didn't work out so well, in my opinion. For most of the book I really didn't see the point in the babysitter being there. I thought maybe she was included because people sometimes hate to see that most middle-grade stories are about children who are either orphans or just 'away' from their parents and go on dangerous adventures. Everyone wonders where the parents are! And since Marrill's parents are in the hospital and Fin actually is an orphan, I thought that maybe they included a babysitter so it was a little less "kids on their own". And then towards the end, it made a little more sense why she was there but the reason still irked me. Now this isn't going to be 'spoilers' but I'm going to say why. Remy was there to make sure Marrill knew that Fin was her 'plus one', as Remy called him. But why did she need to know that?! In 'The Map to Everywhere', Marrill was the only person that ever remembered Fin at all. And all of a sudden, she starts forgetting him. And the reason was not satisfactory in my opinion!And a little something else that sort of bothered me: I was really looking forward to this book being about Fin finding his mom. The first book was basically about Marrill finding her way back to her sick mom and I was really just hoping that Fin would get the same. But nooooo! We are given a little clue in a girl who shows up and then disappears. We are left with this open-ended question of what will happen next. Cliffhanger? Well no, not really. Goodreads does not show any other books in this series. At least not yet. I'm REALLY hoping that they continue with this series since there is so much more than can do with it and we are left with questions. I guess I will have to wait impatiently for any news of it being continued.

I really loved the first book in the Map to Everywhere series and this book was even better. I just absolutely loved all of the adventure and magic in this story.The waters of the Pirate Stream are touching our world again and Marrill remembers that if the waters ever touch our world she will need to return to the Stream to stop something bad. So Marrill re-enters the Pirate Stream along with her babysitter to find the source of the Iron Tide and prevent disaster from striking her world. Marrill finds herself reunited with Fin and the Kraken crew on a journey to the crazy world of Monerva...a world no one can seem to leave.I continue to really enjoy the creative premise of this book and all of the wonderful and interesting characters throughout. There is some spectacular world-building here; I love all the parallel worlds and the idea of a Pirate Stream...basically a stream of magic. I also really enjoy the Map to Everywhere that is an incredibly powerful piece of magic that can take you anywhere you want to go.The characters are very well done. Marrill’s babysitter joins the crew in this adventure and she was extremely fun to read about. I especially enjoy the friendship between Marrill and Fin (a boy that no one can ever remember). In this book we finally find out why Fin is always forgotten and it was incredible to learn that back story.There are some truly creative and awe-inspiring scenes in this book. I loved the city built on a cliff that is eternally falling and people are eternally building their way up higher and higher to prevent falling off the bottom. It was just very imaginative and way these scenes are described really made them come alive.Overall I absolutely loved this continuation of the Map to Everywhere series. There are some incredibly imaginative and amazing scenes in this book that make every page a surprise. I love the characters and really enjoyed the premise as a whole. There is so much interesting magic and adventure throughout. I would recommend to those who love fantasy full of magic and adventure. This is a great book for anyone middle grade and older.
