Continuing the adventure that ended in Britain just a
short while ago, cousins Adam and Justin Sinclair, with their friend Kim
Maleka, are now hunting for the third Stone of Power, one of seven mysterious
stones lost centuries ago. The third stone might be located in an ancient city,
hidden in the depths of the Mexican jungle. When their small plane crashes in
the jungle, Adam, Justin, Kim, and James are rescued by an uncontacted tribe.
James, who is wounded, must stay behind as the kids, with only a young boy,
Tukum, as their guide, make their way through the dense and dangerous jungle to
find the city. River rafting on a crocodile-infested river and evading
predators are just part of this hazardous task.Of course, their old adversary Dr. Khalid is close behind as the kids press on in search of the lost city of stone gods. But he is not the worst of their problems. This time Adam will clash with a terrible enemy who adopts the persona of an evil Aztec god, Tezcatlipoca, and is keen to revive the ancient tradition of human sacrifice. Adam, Justin, and Tukum must play a dreadful ball game of life and death and maybe survive. Will they emerge alive from the jungle? Will Dr. Khalid find the third Stone of Power before they do?
This book is the 3rd in the series, and I haven't read the first two, but it was a lot of fun to read and easy to follow. The author does a great job of filling us in on the back story and letting us know the characters as if this were the first time but without boring any readers who may have read the first few books. I would probably suggest reading them in order, but not reading the other 2 did not detract from the story for me. The characters were fun and each had their own personality along with the fun shifts of of being adolescent/teens and finding their place in the world despite being on an adventure in a strange country. The story was well written and moved nicely. I never felt bored or like things dragged, and I certainly never felt the desire to stop reading. It is a good book, fun adventure, great MG reading, and I do highly recommend it. I intend to go back and read books 1&2 now, and I look forward to book 4 in this fun series!
I am a children’s author,
but up until a few years ago, I was a journalist and editor. Something rather
unexpected sparked my new career as an author—a family trip to Egypt with my
mother and two young nephews. We had a great time and I thought I’d write them
a short story as a different kind of souvenir…. Well, one book and a planned
book series later, I had changed careers. I have now published Book 3 (The Temple of the Crystal Timekeeper) in
my MG adventure series Chronicles of the
Stone, with many awards for the first book, The Secret of the Sacred Scarab, and a few for Book 2, The Search for the Stone of Excalibur,
and one already for Book 3! I also teach online novel writing for aspiring
authors and I find that very satisfying. Relaxation time finds me enjoying
something creative or artistic, music, books, theatre or ballet. I love doing
research for my book series. I love animals and have written two animal rescue
stories. I have two adorable (naughty) little dogs called Chloe and Pumpkin,
and a beautiful black cat called Bertie.
