Landis and her lively chihuahua Chaya will introduce you to the world of adventure and reading excitement in an Indiana Jones style mystery.Help this Canadian teen and her Mayan friend solve a 1000 year-old Chichen Itza mystery in the heart of the tropical Yucatan jungles.
Temperatures start rising as the small plane her mum is flying to Ek Balam narrowly misses a huge iguana sitting in the middle of the runway.
Things continue to heat up when Landis and Maya have to think and act quickly to solve the mystery of the missing statue before a greedy farmer exercises his 'ejido' rights and claim the Royal Jaguar Sanctuary for himself.
Landis and Maya are entrusted with a copy of an ancient legend diary recently unearthed at Chichen Itza which they read to help them solve the mystery. Or can they solve it in time?
The teens have to save the village soon – the Equinox is coming and one of the legendary serpents will make her annual journey down from high atop Chichen Itza’s Grand Pyramid, 'La gran pirámide', to look for the Princess Itza Emerald and the village of Ek Balam will feel the wrath of its curse continue if she doesn’t find it...
Do the teens find the treasure, or does it remain, wherever it is, hidden in the depths of the lush tropical green jungles of the Yucatan, never to be found by human or serpent alike?
Join Landis and her friend Maya, on their quest for the priceless treasure.
