In this graphic novel retelling of an Indigenous Mexican tale, demigod twins must use their magic of song to rescue their father and uncle from the perilous Land of the Dead. A supreme middle-grade adventure!
En la era en que los semidioses mayas prepararon el mundo para los humanos, dos de ellos, los gemelos Junajp? e Ixbalank?, reciben una misi?n de su madre: rescatar a su padre y a su t?o de Xibalb?, la Tierra de los Muertos.
Los gemelos deben seguir el mismo camino mortal hacia Xibalb?, donde su padre y su t?o son encarcelados por la realeza. Deben usar toda su inteligencia, incluyendo la magia de sus canciones y su conexi?n con los animales, para burlar a los habitantes del Reino del Temor: mosquitos, guacamayos, luci?rnagas y m?s acuden en su ayuda mientras pasan noches aterrorizados y d?as jugando a la pelota con la realeza.
Pero a veces, ni siquiera el ingenio puede salvar a un semidi?s. A veces, existe una Magia Primordial que tiene planes a?n m?s ambiciosos para h?roes como estos gemelos.
In the age when Maya demigods prepared the world for humans, two of those demigods, twins Hunahpu and Xbalanke, are given a mission by their mother: rescue their father and uncle from Xibalba, the Land of the Dead.
The twins must follow the same deadly path into Xibalba where their father and uncle are imprisoned by royalty. They must use all their cleverness, including their magic of song and connection to the animals, to outwit the denizens of the Realm of Fright: mosquitos, macaws, fireflies, and more come to the twins’ aid as they spend nights in fright and days playing ball with royalty.
But sometimes, even wit cannot save a demigod. Sometimes, there is a Magic Primeval that has even bigger plans for heroes such as these twins.
