Publisher Summary

En esta novela gráfica que reinventa un cuento indígena mexicano, los gemelos semidioses usan la magia de la canción para rescatar a su padre y a su tío de la peligrosa tierra de los muertos. Una aventura suprema de grado medio! 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 época en que los semidioses mayas vivían entre nosotros, dos hermanos despreocupados, Uno Junajpú y Siete Junajpú, son atraídos a Xibalbá, la Tierra de los Muertos. Incapaces de regresar al mundo rodeado de mar, los hijos primogénitos de Uno Junajpú deben ser criados por su abuela. En Xibalbá, Uno Junajpú conoce a la rebelde Princesa Sangre, y su amor conduce a otro par de hijos gemelos, destinados a salvar a su padre y a su tío y restaurar el equilibrio del cosmos. ¡Pero no será fácil! Los gemelos necesitan algo de magia engañosa para sobrevivir la crueldad de sus medio hermanos. Adaptada de los recuentos y traducciones del autor David Bowles de textos precolombino esenciales como el Popol Vuh, la serie Leyendas de la serpiente emplumada da vida a las historias indígenas mesoamericanas para los lectores jóvenes. 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!
