In this suspenseful sequel to The Marino Mission, teens Alexa and Jose reunite at the ruins of an ancient Mayan temple where they unearth intriguing clues about this ancient civilization. When they uncover a sinister scheme to sell priceless Mayan artifacts to the highest bidder, Alexa and Jose get caught up in the throes of a fast-paced jungle adventure that draws them into a heart-wrenching predicament. Your predicament: You want to get a high score on the SAT. You'll uncover the secret in The Mayan Mission.
