Gr 4-6Three youths in their early teens, one of whom is a walking encyclopedia on the ancient Indian civilizations in Mexico, join forces to explore the archaeological site of Chichen Itza, and in the process solve the mystery of stolen Mayan artifacts. Characterization is minimal with one member of the trio being a stereotypical nerd and the other two, a brother and sister, following along since there doesn't seem to be anything better to do. Suspense is slow building and the villains seem obvious from the beginning. Still, the text is packed full of information about the ancient Yucatan peninsula civilizations and may spark interest in further reading. A map of the Mayan ruins is included.Pamela K.

While vacationing in Mexico, siblings Ray and Rachel and their know-it-all friend Andrew accidentally unravel the mystery of ancient Mayan artifacts that are disappearing from the archaeological site of Chichén Itz . The story is marred by a thin plot and one-dimensional characters, but it may pique readers' interest in Mayan history. (c) Copyright 2010.
