(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Bryn Barnard. A vivid, believable portrait of the ninth-century Mayan culture distinguishes this story of Eveningstar Macaw, who attempts to save her beloved older brother from a ritual death imposed by a corrupt high priest. Eveningstar's defiance causes her also to be marked for sacrifice. The fast-paced, accessible novel includes necessarily realistic depictions of bloodletting, human sacrifice, and other Mayan rituals.
