Reviews
“Suspense and intrigue, human sacrifice, smuggling, and secret doors and escape routes through pyramids
ensure that the novel, the first in a projected trilogy, is likely to win legions of fans, who will gravitate toward the nonstop action that echoes Max's beloved video games.” - School Library Journal, Starred Review
“A simply awesome read.” - Flamingnet Book Reviews - Top Choice Award
“The perfect bait to get a videogamer to turn off the TV and read” - Young Adults Books Central - 5-Star Review

“The reader is treated to fascinating information about the Maya even as Max overcomes his dislike for his
parents’ job and saves the world. I’m looking forward to the other books in this trilogy.” - Booksense Pick
“The Voelkels have created an adventurous Mayan world---or two---as they link past and present. ... Middle schoolers should have great fun with this book.” - Kliatt
“Funny, fast-paced and entirely original.” - New England Children’s Bookselling Advisory Council, Fall Reviews, 2007
“The book’s unusual Mesoamerican backdrop is worth marking, and the Indiana Jones-influenced adventure,
as well as the book’s polished line drawings, will keep readers interested and looking forward to future
entries in the Jaguar Stones trilogy” - Booklist
“A lovely book, full of maps, B&W illustrations and Maya history.” - Book Loons
“The subject matter transports the reader to a world in which the Maya dieties still have power and influence,
where time and space are in flux, but where even a fourteen year old from the outside can become aware,
and find wisdom and love, if he can but open his eyes to the magic around him.” - Gregory Deyermenjian, New England Chapter of The Explorers Club”
