Reviews
"A unique artist again creates a substantial original tale based on folkloric traditions, meticulously explained in an extensive note. . . . A strong adventure that will appeal to a broad age range." Kirkus Reviews "An unusual story of a young Mayan ballplayer who, defying the priest's prophecy of a drought to come in the year ahead, challenges the rain god (Chac) to a game of pok-a-tok. . . . The great beauty of the volume and its lessons on Mayan culture make it a unique and worthwhile purchase." School Library Journal "The visual excitement of these pictures gives the book immediate and lasting appeal." Booklist, ALA, Starred Review, "The visual excitement of these pictures gives the book immediate and lasting appeal." Booklist, ALA, Starred Review
