KidsLIVE presents WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE

J&P Voelkel are the authors of THE JAGUAR STONES, the fast-paced, funny, adventure series that does for the ancient Maya what Rick Riordan does for the Greeks.  BOOK ONE: MIDDLEWORLD takes place in the jungles of Central America, while BOOK TWO: THE END OF THE WORLD CLUB moves the action to Spain on the trail of the conquistadors.  J&P have traveled extensively in the Maya regions and Europe to research the books, and work closely with a Harvard professor to check their Maya facts. Now they will be your guides for a thrilling journey into the wilds of your imagination. You'll meet the Maya, both ancient and modern; discover the truth about 2012; call a howler monkey; speak Mayan; and learn how to survive in the perilous jungle. This high-energy, multimedia presentation is as fast and frenetic as the books themselves - with plenty of surprises along the way. Suitable for all ages.

This event will be held in South Court Auditorium.
