Twins Emma and Mart?n use a magical book to travel into Mexican legends in these first four books in the Legendarios chapter book series that's Magic Tree House meets Heroes in Training--now available together in one shrink-wrapped paperback collection!
When twins Emma and Mart?n move from Cuernavaca, Mexico to their new home in Chicago, they face a lot of changes all at once: a new home, a new country, new friends, and even new weather. To help with the transitions and remind them of where they came from, their abuela gives them a special going-away present--a magical book of Mexican legends. But this isn't just any ordinary book, and soon the twins discover that it can transport them into the stories! As the family's newest Legendarios, or legend travelers, Emma and Mart?n journey into the tales of the rain god Tlaloc, the giant deity Ometeotl, the child-king of Uxmal, and the princess Hapunda. Amid the exciting adventures, suspenseful moments, and tricky challenges they need to work through, the twins might just find that they're braver than they realized, and more ready to face their real-world trials than they ever expected. This magical paperback collection includes:Wrath of the Rain God
The Beginning of All Things
The Child King of Uxmal
The Heron Princess
