BLURB: An Ancient Mayan civilization!

 

That’s what Bubba and Squirt find when they travel through the mysterious vortex for another wild adventure. There they meet archeologists who are unearthing priceless artifacts.

 

But someone is stealing them. And an encounter with the Tate Duende awakens magic within Bubba. Throw in the mysterious Alux and a new discovery and things get sticky.

 

Will Bubba and Squirt solve the mystery, or will they be stuck forever in the jungles of Belize?

    1. Yay! I haven't kept track of sales, but at the end of the day on the 15th, it was number 37 in Latin American Folktales. That's pretty good!

  5. Brava for the new book. It deserves more than a Taco.
    My favorite latin food is one I became fond of in Argentina, called Dulce De Leche. There are decent recipes on the inter-webs, though I confess I haven't made it at home.

    1. Yes, there are. The mosquitos feasted on me when I was there.

  7. Congrats on the release. I'm not a fan of Latin-flavored anything, so no fave recipe. I bet there'll be a lot of good ones going around today, though.

  8. Hi, Sherry!

    I am very happy for you, dear friend! Congratulations on getting your latest Bubba & Squirt adventure book into the marketplace. I wish you much success with it.

    I clicked to enlarge that picture of chicken tortilla soup. It looks delicious! I asked Mrs. Shady to name a Latin flavored dish she prepared that she knows I loved. She reminded me of the fish tacos she recently made. I also recall going to a Mexican restaurant and savoring whitefish served on a stand.

    Enjoy this exciting week, dear friend Sherry!

    1. Thank you! I realized after I originally posted this, that the link to the recipe wasn't working. I fixed that. So if you revisit and you want the recipe, you can get it.

      Enjoy your week as well!

    1. Yep. Canada is a bit further removed from Latin America, so it's probably not seen on menus much.

  10. Congratulations Sherry on your new book, I'm sure it will be a huge success. Good luck.

    Yvonne.

  11. I remember eating in a local restaurant in Tegucigalpa, Honduras where the meal was essentially boiled yucca root and fried fatback. I don't remember what it was called but it was filling even if not the most healthy meal I'd eaten.

    Congratulations on your book--another to send to a grandchild!

  15. Congrats on the release of your new book! I hope Bubba and Squirt share lots more adventures in the years to come. Your series is a definite winner!

    That chicken tortilla soup sounds yummy. One of my favorite Latin-type food is quesadillas filled with shrimp, spinach, mushrooms, pickled red onions, and lots of cheese. Deliciously decadent!

    Take care, and have a super weekend.

  18. Looks like a great new book. I love the idea of using foods from the area to promote your book. Empanadas are definitely my favorite of those foods.

    I am excited for the upcoming YA scavenger book hunt (YASH), and for the Pass or Pages query contest at Operation Awesome with the YA category this October. I hope you've been staying healthy and thriving as best as you can this year. Having a new book out certainly seems like a great tribute to the year!
