Description: Nine-year-old twins Emma and Martâin travel into a book of legends to the beginning of time with the giant Ometecuhtli, but soon must figure out how to activate the portal home when nothing yet exists.
Brief description: Karla Arenas Valenti grew up in Mexico, a land of great myths and many legends. From a very young age, she loved getting lost in stories (and, in fact, she considers herself the very first Legendario). As a grown-up, she still loves getting lost in stories and is now creating adventures for readers to do the same. In addition to chapter books, Karla is the author of many picture books and middle grade novels. She currently lives in the Chicagoland area with her husband, three kids, two cats, and hundreds of books.
Review Quotes: "This second installment of Emma and Martín's 'Legendarios' series reads like ancient Mexican myths mixed with Mary Pope Osborne's beloved "Magic Tree House" series. . . . This action-packed series is a must-buy"--School Library Journal, starred review "09/20/24"
