Description

Also available in Spanish as Perdidos en NYC: una aventura en el metro

The sights . . . the sounds . . . the SMELLS! New York's crowded subway system is known for many things, but being easy on a lost kid isn't one of them. When Pablo gets separated from his new schoolmates during his first field trip in New York City, he doesn't know how he'll be able to find them again. Luckily, he has a little knowledge, a new friend, and the surprisingly approachable city itself to guide his way. This story features maps, archival photos, and fascinating facts to help readers explore the subway without ever having to get caught like Pablo in the mob of Times Square. It brings all the bustle and beauty of NYC to young readers around the world.

This story is also available in Spanish as Perdidos en NYC: una aventura en el metro

Critical Reviews

"With humor and sensitivity, Spiegelman reveals how getting lost can be the first step toward finding your way--while also giving NYC residents and visitors alike a valuable primer on the subway system and its history." --Publishers Weekly STARRED REVIEW "García's adroit art bursts with activity, while the story highlights the ingenuity city life brings out in the young. Packed with subway maps, lore and miscellany, it's sure to be treasured by tweens and adults, too." --New York Times "Required reading for anyone, tourist or resident, mystified by or anxious about using arguably the greatest public-transportation system on the planet." --Kirkus Reviews STARRED REVIEW
