Vladimir Tumanov turns his focus to the most urgent issue of our time: the climate crisis. In the second book of the “Mysterious Maps” series, published first in Turkish, the adventure continues as the Alt siblings face a massive flood. Through riddles and clues, they embark on a gripping journey that prompts readers to think about critical environmental issues such as melting glaciers, rising sea levels, and global warming. The story also highlights the importance of knowledge, research, and teamwork in solving real-world problems.

Overview

After their incredible summer adventure, during which they aged rapidly each passing day, Alt brothers Chris and Francis find themselves caught in a raging storm. When they head into the city center to save their parents, they discover that the streets are already submerged under water. Stranded in an abandoned office building, they stumble upon a mysterious scroll filled with new riddles! Luckily, Mariana, who knows a thing or two about boats, joins them. As they are dragged through the flood with various vehicles such as a yacht, a barrel, and even a gondola, the trio races against time to solve the riddles and to stop the rising waters from swallowing the world.
