John Parke Davis

John Parke Davis is an American author who co-writes The Map to Everywhere series with novelist Carrie Ryan, a middle-grade fantasy-adventure sequence that began with The Map to Everywhere (2014) and continued through City of Thirst, Shadows of the Lost Sun, and Iron Tide Rising. The books follow a boy who can be seen only by pirates as he searches for his mother across a Pirate Stream connecting countless different worlds, blending humor, world-hopping adventure, and puzzle-like magical geography aimed at middle-grade readers. Davis's published bibliography centers on this one collaborative series, co-credited in library and bookseller catalogs alongside Ryan. Public biographical detail beyond the collaboration is limited, though the series' blend of adventure-comedy and imaginative world-building has made it a recurring recommendation for fans of portal fantasy.
