# The Girl of Ink and Stars

  ![Image of The Girl of Ink and Stars](https://files.schudio.com/grange-junior-school/images/news/IMG_2165.jpeg)  16 January 2025

Year 6 started reading *The Girl of Ink and Stars* this term. In our hook lesson, we explored cartography, learning how maps are created. Using clues from the text, we designed our own maps of the Isle of Joya, connecting geography and storytelling.
