Map of Otto and Joseph's journey from Erndell Scott's breakout novel, 'Paper Boats.' Available now on Amazon.com.
I received an email from a reader asking me if I had a map of Otto’s and Joseph’s journey. She wanted to see where they went in regard to the countries in Europe and the fronts of the Allied Armies. It’s a great idea so I created a map of their journey to help give perspective to where their travels took them. The hard part is that you don’t want to give too much information and create a spoiler for people who have not read the book. With that in mind, I plotted the boy’s course giving small bits of info, enough to create some enthusiasm and excitement for people who haven’t read the book and some extra depth and understanding for people who have.
