Mesoamerican Myths
Mesoamerica provides menacing serpents, superhuman gods, and heroic twins for this spellbinding title that covers myths from Aztec and Mayan cultures. These mesmerizing stories are bookended by front and back matter that introduce characters, explain Mesoamerican mythology, and provide information on other mythical figures whose stories are not told.

Book Review--"The writing... is succinct and adequate...the writing level is low, which makes them appropriate for older elementary students who have reading issues." -Kristin Fletcher-Spear, Teen Librarian, Foothills Branch Library, Glendale, Arizona
-Library Media Connection
Series Review--
"The particular appeal...is the relative unfamiliarity of the selections. The comparatively frank nature of the stories will be the hook for many students...Artistically, the books' covers are distinguished, exhibiting almost lifelike representations from the myths...Action moves quickly and without a lot of extraneous detail. This makes them perfect for reluctant readers...Mesoamerican Myths is the most significant...especially for libraries serving Mexican-American and Central American populations..."
