Adventure Exploring

Bubba and Squirt's Mayan Adventure by Sherry Ellis

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


If you’ve read the book Bubba and Squirt’s Big Dig to China, by Sherry Ellis, you met Bubba and Squirt, brother and sister, who dug a hole with the magic shovel Grandpa gave them and ended up in China. Well, they’re at it again. The latest adventure of the two explorers starts with a dream that Bubba has where his Great-Great-Grandpa Jacob tells him that it’s important to go down the hole again, but not to China. Who are they to argue with their great-great grandpa? So, they're off again. This time they find themselvs not in China but somewhere just as exciting, or perhaps even more so.

In this new place they discover pyramids, a girl, some archaeologists, and other valuable things. What is going on? They soon find out, and it isn’t all good.

Bubba and Squirt are delightful characters and very much like real people. They’re not perfect. They make mistakes, as everyone does. The descriptions of the land and different settings bring the reader right into the scene until you feel like you’re there, experiencing the excitement and events along with the kids.

At the end of the story, the author gives the reader interesting information about the Mayan Indians and a different country, along with recipes, a glossaryy, and other interesting information.
I recommend Bubba and Squirt’s MAYAN ADVENTURE for Middle Grade Readers and older readers Happy Reading.
