Jon Scieszka author of Me Oh Maya. the setting takes place in Chicke`n Itza` Mexcio. the time period is 1000 A.D and the main characters are Fred,Joe,and Sam. This is still the time period when it is okay to sacrafice,feed to Jaguars when alive, and chop heads off.
The authors discription of the historical civilation was very impressive.Acutallyit was better than I could do because I don`t know anything about them.The Social Studies book said some of the exact facts that the author did. All three of the kids are diffrent.But I`m going to talk about the main character fred. One of the two actions that he has are he is a good basketball player.The other one is he is from New York, he always has his New York Knicks cap on backwards.
Ithought that It was the best book of I`v ever read. I would recomend this book to because it`s not to easy or tThe author decriptionof the historical civilationwas very impressive.Acutally o hard.I wouldn`t mind writting a book like this because the author made me understand it better. It was a book just about anybody could understand,it was a book where I could remember just about in it. Rember next time you want to read a good book remember Me Oh Maya.
