Jimmy and his friend are promised a helicopter ride if they can get to the airfield at Redrock (an imaginary town in Eastern Ontario) on their own. Jimmy's Grandpa (a retired surveyor and cartographer) helps them earn the ride by teaching them to use a topographical map and compass. Finally they get their promised ride and see the countryside spread out below them looking both like and unlike their map. Maps are magical!. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good.
