Journey Around Cape Cod and the Islands from A to Z
Written and Illustrated by Martha Zschock
Designed by Heather Zschock

Martha Zschock is a third-grade teacher from Eastham on Cape Cod. She is also an extraordinary artist.

By taking her students on field trips on the Cape, she discovered what sites and stories excite them most. Drawing on this experience, she created what one Cape Cod bookseller calls "the best Cape book we've ever had."

Journey Around Cape Cod and the Islands From A to Z is an alphabet book, but one that is equally enjoyable and interesting for children of all ages and for adults, as well. From Aptucxet to Zooplankton, it offers fascinating information about the Cape and its history - all of it illustrated with Zschock's breathtaking watercolor work.

In 1999, the year Journey Around Cape Cod and the Islands From A to Z was first published, it outsold the Harry Potter books in stores from Falmouth to Provincetown. Today, it remains a family favorite.

"Every so often one stumbles upon a book that delights and invites the reader to stretch a little further. One that sets the imagination to running in several directions while enticing the visual senses as well as the mind. Martha Day Zschock's new children's book does just this and more."
(Melora B. North, Cape Codder Day & Night)

"Just when you thought there were enough books about Cape Cod, along comes a new one that fills a niche perfectly. Journey Around Cape Cod and the Islands, From A to Z by Eastham resident Martha Day Zschock, is a great way for children to learn about the Cape and Islands - and adults will enjoy it as well."
(Debi Boucher Stetson, Cape Women)
