About This Book

In this graphic novel retelling of an Indigenous Mexican tale, demigod twins must use their magic of song to prepare the world for humans—with a little trickster fun along the way. A supreme middle-grade adventure!In the age of Maya demigods, two carefree brothers are called to Xibalba, Land of the Dead. When they fail to return to the sea-ringed world above, One Hunahpu's firstborn sons are raised by their grandmother. Below, in Xibalba, One Hunahpu meets the rebellious Lady Blood, and their love leads to twin sons, destined to restore balance to the cosmos—though they might need some trickster magic to survive the cruelty of their older half-brothers! Adapted from author David Bowles's retellings and translations of essential pre-Columbian texts like the Popol Vuh, the Tales of the Feathered Serpent series brings Indigenous Mesoamerican stories alive for young readers!Check out the other titles in this series:RISE OF THE HALFLING KING • THE HERO TWINS AND THE MAGIC OF SONG
