Description

Twins Emma and Martn defend a princess and her village in this fourth book in the Legendarios chapter book series thats Magic Tree House meets Heroes in Training!

Its been a few months since Emma and Martn moved to Chicago. When they first arrived, their family thought outgoing Emma would adjust quickly and shy Martn might have a harder time making friends. But surprisingly, Martn is fitting in just fine, while Emma wants to go back to Mexico more than anything.

She might not be able to go back to their previous home, but she can visit Mexico in the book of legends! And even better, this time the twins are joined by their abuela on the adventure. The book brings them into the story of Princess Hapunda and Lake Ptzcuaro. When an enemy tribe demands that Hapundas father hand her over to them, she faces a difficult choice: go with their enemies or refuse and risk her peoples safety.

Can the twins find a way to help the princess out of the tricky situation, or is this a tale without a happy ending
