The Midnight Cartographer: A Night-Market Adventure

By Murat Topçu

Previously published as The Midnight Cartographer: A Night-Market Adventure: A cozy, map-filled chapter book about courage, kindness, and getting un-lost. by Murat Topcu.

At midnight, a silver thread redraws Mina's bedroom door into the entrance to a hidden Night Market.

Mina loves drawing maps, but this market needs more than ordinary directions. A door has lost its voice. A tiny cloud has sprung a leak. A forgotten lane is fading into shadow. And beneath the lanterns, a larger mystery is beginning to erase the paths that hold the market together.

With her sharp-eyed, sharp-tongued cat Kirpik beside her, Mina must listen closely, follow unusual clues, and discover what a map can-and cannot-do. Every noticed connection and every real choice adds a new line. When the Great Vanishing arrives, Mina will need all of them.

The Midnight Cartographer is an illustrated fantasy chapter book about courage, connection, careful observation, and finding the next possible step. Written for readers ages 7-10, it can be enjoyed independently or shared aloud.

Follow the silver thread. The Night Market is waiting.
