The Map That Draws Itself
Description
What if the map you found... started drawing itself?
When Oliver Finch discovers an ancient map hidden in his grandmother's attic, he expects dust, history... maybe a forgotten place.
What he doesn't expect is a map that moves ? lines shifting, paths appearing, and a single command written across the page:
START HERE.
Drawn into a world hidden just beyond the edge of reality, Oliver finds himself inside a forest that shouldn't exist... where paths change, time bends, and nothing is quite what it seems.
There, he meets Sable ? sharp, fearless, and carrying a map of her own.
Together, they uncover a mystery far greater than either of them imagined:
a forgotten city, a broken system, and a secret that could change everything.
To move forward, they must face three trials ? not of strength, but of who they truly are:
Courage. Cleverness. Kindness.
But the greatest discovery is still ahead.
Because some maps don't just show the way...
They choose who follows them.
✨ Perfect for readers who love magical adventures, mysterious worlds, and unforgettable journeys.
✨ A heartwarming fantasy about identity, friendship, and discovering who you are.
The Map That Draws Itself is the beginning of an unforgettable adventure ? where every step reveals a new secret... and every choice shapes the path ahead.
More details
Person
Abdullah Al-Baghdadi is an Egyptian novelist and storyteller, born in Cairo in the early 1990s. He grew up steeped in the golden age of Arabic literature ? shaped by the poetry of Ahmad Shawqi, the sharp intellect of Abbas Al-Aqqad, and the timeless prose of Naguib Mahfouz.
Yet perhaps the closest literary thread runs through his own blood: the celebrated Egyptian poet Dr. Farouk Shousha ? a relative whose love of language and the Arabic word left an indelible mark on Abdullah's voice as a writer.
He writes from Cairo, carrying the weight of a rich literary inheritance ? and the quiet ambition to add his own chapter to it.
