can two young boys . . .
. . . outwit the lords of death?

THE HERO TWINS, HUNAHPU AND XBALANQUE, WERE
BLESSED BY THE MAYAN GODS WITH SPECIAL POWERS.
BUT THEIR INCREDIBLE SKILL AT PLAYING POK-TA-POK,
THE MAYAN BALL GAME, ANGERS THE LORDS OF
XIBALBA, RULERS OF THE LAND OF THE DEAD. WHEN
THE LORDS CHALLENGE THEM TO A POK-TA-POK
GAME IN XIBALBA, THE TWINS KNOW THEY MUST

USE ALL OF THEIR POWERS AND CUNNING TO

DEFEAT THE LORDS’ MANY CHALLENGES. WILL
THEY SURVIVE THE LAND OF THE DEAD?
