Tepozteco's Belly

Bag om Tepozteco's Belly

"Alain's parents have a home in Tepoztlâan, outside of Mexico City, and he invites a group of friends to spend the long Mexican Independence weekend there. They can't wait to hang out, play video games and climb up the Toltec pyramid that's in the town! Once there, the city kids meet some of the locals, including Pancho, who's about their age, and his mother, a curandera who does cleansings. The young people are thrilled to be able to watch the indigenous ceremony that involves copal incense, candles and rubbing an egg along the body. BUt more exciting is Pancho's invitation to explore a large cave he has recently discovered on Mt. Tepozteco. The next day they find the cave entrance without too much trouble, but soon things get weird in the huge, dark cavern as they encounter an assortment of odd characters. The friends realize they've accidentally entered Tepozteco's Belly, where the ancient Aztec gods live. Mother figure and goddess of sustenance, Tonantzin, and Xiutecutli, lord of fire, want to help the kids escape, but others, including the fearsome earth mother goddess Coatlicue, want to subject the intruders to a bloody sacrifice. Introducing Mexico's pre-Hispanic culture and religion, this adventure novel blending fantasy and myth races to an exciting conclusion!"--Back cover.
