" This was a fun book and really had a lot of info about the Mayan culture and you didn't even know how much you were learning, it was fun!! I look forward to the next book in the trilogy. "

" I thought this book was great! I thought that the main character's snobbish-ness kind of got old, but thank goodness he gets over that. I really liked the Indiana Jones feel, though I don't know how this book is like Harry Potter or Clash of the Titans as the back of the book suggested. It's slightly slow going at first, but it eventually gets better. The ending makes me excited to finish the series. "

" This has the best description of a granola bar I have ever heard. Great subject matter. Not enough kids books about the Maya culture. "

" A little slow through the first half of the book until the "baboons" come to Max's aid; but, once they come into the plot, the story picks up and there is much humor to enjoy. As long as the baboons are in the picture, the second book should be a delight to read, too. "

" This book was one of my favorite books. It is about max a typical boy from boston who after mayan gods take his parents prisoner goes to the land of the mayans to save them. This book was an incredible read even though they have not come out with the second book in ages. "

" FUll of information on both ancient and comtemporary Mayan civilization. The Voeckels weave the historic information into a fascinating story of boys meets girl, boy realizes the world doesn't revolve around him, boy finds out its never too late to change. "

" I could not get beyond 60 pages of this book. Too much whining and complaining on the part of the main character, and I really wasn't buying into the Mayan intrigue, although I wanted to. Maybe I wasn't in the right mood. "
