Danger South of the Border

It really makes no sense. Six tickets have arrived to send Joel Kidd on a ten day trip to a dig in Mexico. But inconceivable as it may be, there are the tickets for Ricky's younger brother. What's even more inconceivable is that Ricky and his friends find themselves on a plane to explain that there must have been a mix-up with the tickets. The gang has just arrived in Mexico when Ricky begins to notice how afraid the natives are of their host, Senor Castillo. Every time his name is mentioned, they abandon the group as if they were sick. But it's after a midnight visit to a hut nearby that Ricky learns about the danger in the area. Can the accidental detectives figure out what the reappearance of an ancient and evil legend really means? Yet another wonderful entry in this great series. There is a lot more humor then I remembered in this entry, and I loved it. Especially the running joke about the word "Inconceivable." I will admit to feeling the ending was a little weak morally in this entry. While not the strongest in the series, this is still a great book. It'll be a fast read because you'll want to know how it ends.

Fast paced kid's book that an adult can enjoy!

A group of small town kids travel to the ancient ruins at Chitzen-Itza, in Mexico's Yucatan jungle, and break up a smuggling operation. Not likely in the real world, but this is a KIDS book. I got this book for my 11 year old daughter, but decided to read it first. I was very impressed by the accuracy of Sigmund's descriptions of Chitzen-Itza. Having poked around there myself a few years back, reading this story made me feel like I had returned. Even though this series was written for the 8-12 age group, I found it an enjoyable read. And I'm 40 years old.
