A fascinating tale not just of "long ago and far away," but available to new generations as well. Start saving your pennies!
Some might say I've accumulated far too many decades of life to read any of the books in this Grossett and Dunlap series, now numbering well over 150 titles (I know, because I copied and pasted the cover images of ALL of them so m granddaughter could choose the ones she still wants.) I like to at least scan books which I've ordered for my grandchildren, and often leave very small post-it notes with comments as I read. I learned a great deal from this book; I think it's one of the best in the series. Far from being dry history, the tale is exciting, has elements of a detective story, and provokes one's fascinations with things long past and perhaps forever beyond real explanation or understanding. A most enjoyable and informative read.
A lot of interesting info!
We read this book on the Peru Rail on our way to Machu Picchu! My daughter loved it so much. So many cool and fun facts about Machu Picchu!
Great Stocking Stuffer for young readers
My kids love these books! Easy AR books & they are learning about the world! Definitely recommend for teacher gifts or for birthday/stocking stuffers!
Educational and fun read
The book was very interesting to my 8 year old son. He read it fairly quickly. He started it at night and woke up early to finish it the next day. He eagerly shared what he learned and was even talking about Machu Picchu weeks after he read the book.

This was perfect for my eight year old! She adored it! Came in perfect condition and soft and shiny the way New books feel! Full of information and entertaining I recommend!
Great way to learn a bit of history!
Easy to read book! I purchased for my seven-year-old but I have found myself reading it more! Lots of great history in here and helpful to learn about the Incan past
