Indiana Jones Meets Alex Rider in M.G. Harris' fast paced novel. Thirteen year old Josh's professor father is murdered while uncovering something secretive about the Ancient Mayans and Josh wants to find out why. He goes to the last place in Mexico his father stayed and finds out that not only is his life in danger but he might find the key to unlock the mystery to the 2012 prophecy.
I normally don't read a lot of "guy" books but I didn't want to stop reading at night. The characters are multi-dimensional. It's action-packed, fast-paced and unpredictable. It's also the first in a series and is highly appropriate for the middle school student (no sex, no language, mild violence). I'm totally giving this one to my reluctant readers, especially the guys!
