About the Books
This collection gathers all three paperback adventures in the beloved Hatmakers series, following eleven-year-old Cordelia Hatmaker as she discovers her family's gift for weaving alchemy and enchantment into every hat they craft. In the first book, The Hatmakers, Cordelia's world is turned upside down when her father vanishes at sea, and she must uncover a conspiracy threatening every magical Maker family in the city. The Mapmakers picks up the trail with a hidden map tucked inside her father's telescope, leading Cordelia into a secret society of cartographers and a race against time to follow cryptic clues across an alternate London. The Troublemakers closes out the trilogy with a seafaring adventure as Cordelia sails her family's ship to solve the mystery of a missing girl and clear her own name. Across all three books, the series blends cozy craft magic with fast-paced mystery and warm found-family relationships. Paola Escobar's charming illustrations appear throughout, bringing the hats, maps, and ships to life on the page. Together, the trilogy gives Cordelia a complete emotional arc, growing from a sheltered hatmaker's daughter into a confident, resourceful heroine. It's an ideal readalong or solo chapter-book set for kids who enjoy inventive world-building paired with real heart and humor.
