The summary from Cervantes’ website says the following: “Zane Obispo spends every day exploring the sleeping volcano in his backyard. “The Beast,” as he calls it, is the one place where he can escape other kids, who make fun of him because he has a limp and walks with a cane. But his life is about to be turned upside down. Feisty heroes, tricky gods, murderous demons, and spirited giants are just some of the pleasures that await in this fresh and funny take on Maya mythology, as rich and delicious as a mug of authentic hot chocolate.” Fans of the series love how J.C. Cervantes brings Maya history (like the aforementioned “authentic hot chocolate”) into the story in quirky ways. Readers will find themselves thrilled, moved, and educated as they read the story!
The sequels of the books are also already published, with “The Fire Keeper” coming second and “The Shadow Crosser” coming third.
