Violence: PG
Jonathon doesn’t want to go with his father, an archeologist, to Peru. He isn’t interesting in old things, nor spending time with his father. When Jonathon’s sullen attitude leads him into taking a wrong turn near the ruins at Machu Picchu, he must confront numerous dangers: starvation, traps, terrorists, and bugs. He must learn to skate the line between a modern culture and an ancient culture if he wants to live. Did I mention there are mummies?
A junior Indian Jones type adventure, this story is packed full of interesting tidbits of both anthropology and archeology. The story is interesting and fast paced. The only thing that bugged me was when Jonathon’s inner voice kept talking to him, it was super repetitive. Older Elementary & Middle School students will love this book, and maybe it will inspire a future career!
