A diverse group of friends—Black, Latinx, South Asian, white—enjoys a long journey together guided by the use of a map in this early reader. As the summer draws to a close, Pablo’s dad agrees to take him and his friends to Coney Island. A lover of maps, Pablo plots their course through their urban community: First they walk to the bus stop, then take a bus to the subway line, and finally, ride the subway to Coney Island. Once they arrive at their destination, Pablo produces a second map of Coney Island itself so that he and his friends can locate the rides they want to go on. An activity in the back instructs readers in how to design maps of their own neighborhood. (Ages 5–7)

In this early chapter book in the popular Confetti Kids series, Pablo is excited to help his friends find the best route to Coney Island by using different transportation maps.

Five friends from diverse backgrounds learn how to navigate common childhood challenges, new experiences, and the world around them in the realistic and kid-friendly Confetti Kids early chapter books.

Pablo and his friends want to spend the last day of summer at Coney Island. They can ride bumper cars or play ring toss--there's so much to do! But first, they need to figure out how to get to Coney Island from their neighborhood. It's a long trip on the bus and subway, so it's a good thing Pablo has his trusty maps to help them find the way. Coney Island or bust!
