Thirteen-year-old Josh lives an ordinary life until his archaeologist father dies. Josh doesn't believe the police report and starts his own investigation; this leads him to Mexico on the trail of a secret Mayan codex. Written in present tense (partly as blog entries), the story is sharp and engaging, fueled by Josh's suspicions.
