《学校图书馆杂志》(School Library Journal)书评
Gr 4-7-- A book that encourages readers to solve the mystery of the missing Aztec gold. The fast-paced narrative describes the rise of the Aztec civilization and its destruction by Cortes. Pencil drawings highlight the chapters and visually extend the action. Larsen provides several solutions to the mystery and invites students to form a hypothesis. The text includes pronunciations of Aztec names and definitions of Spanish phrases. An involving introduction to a major historical event. --Cassie Whetstone, Ridgeley Primary/Middle School, WV (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

These brief biographies are presented as mysteries with several possible solutions. Though interesting, the writing is undistinguished, and the pencil drawings are very weak. Bib., ind.
