"The Well of Sacrifice: A Drama among the Maya for ages 9+"
by Kris Bock
A dead king, a power-hungry high priest, a deep limestone pit used for human sacrifice … and only one young girl brave enough to fight the evil that pervades her city.
“The novel shines not only for a faithful recreation of an unfamiliar, ancient world, but also for the introduction of a brave, likable and determined heroine.” – Kirkus Reviews
