The Jaguar Stones

The Jaguar Stones is a series about Max Murphy, a 14 year-old boy who travels to central America to find his parents who are obsessed with Mayan history and culture. Soon his uncle is holding him hostage and he has to dash out into the jungle to escape. Then he meets a modern Maya girl and they get dragged into the whole scheme of finding the 5 Jaguar Stones.

The series is by Jon and Pamela Voelkel. I am reading the first book (it is called Middleworld) in the series, and I believe it is the only book in the series Maggie has. It is a hard read, if you don't like a challenge this is NOT your book. It is SUPER boring in parts, and exciting in other parts. I recommend it if you like challenges and enjoy books that are boring in parts. I hope my review is helpful and will make you read this, but if you don't like challenges or someone has not recommend it I understand.

The Jagaur Stones: Book One Middleworld

The Jaguar Stones: Book One Middleworld is a  mixture of Indiana Jones and Harry Potter. Its packed with adventure and is almost scary at points. Its one of the best books i have ever read. It was written by a friends of my parents which gave me more of a boost to read it I even got bookplates and bookmarks all signed! I was really excited about that. 

I think that the main character, Max, is a lot like Max G., a previous student of Maggie's because he is an average teenager who is addicted to video games and pizza--and a lot more of Max G personality. I  learned so much in the book without even realizing it. I find myself knowing Mayan hyroglphs  and Mayan history.  They have a little section at the end that tells you all the stuff you have learned. I recomend  this to anyone who likes a page turner ( a book that is so exciting you could make a cliff hanger on almost every page).
