A Time TravelerÕs Tale Ð Book 3
Recommended Ages: 7Ð10 | Illustrated Chapter Book | Juvenile Historical Fiction
When a mysterious book glows to life in her hands, Emma is whisked back in time to the heart of ancient MesoamericaÑwhere the mighty Olmecs once carved colossal stone heads and watched the skies for signs from the gods.
There she meets Itzam, a boy her age, and explores the jungle city of La Venta. But all is not well. The rains have stopped. The canals are drying. And the Sacred JaguarÑguardian spirit of balance and lifeÑhas vanished.
Together, Emma and Itzam must follow the clues of stone and stars, unlock the wisdom of forgotten legends, and find the jaguar before the harvest fails and the land is lost.
Perfect for curious young readers, Emma and the Echo of the Olmecs blends adventure, friendship, and real-world history in a magical tale that brings the ancient past to life. This is the third book in the Time TravelerÕs Tale series, following Emma and the Secrets of the Nile and Emma and the Wonders of Mesopotamia.
