This juvenile action/ adventure series is marketed for kids ages 9 to 14. However I receive e-mails at spyguyethan@gmail.com from people of all ages that say how much they enjoyed reading these engaging adventures to exotic countries!

The title of my new book is, March of the Mayans.  It is set in Mexico.  Ethan takes the reader on an adventure to Mexico City, Palenque, the Landacón Jungle and El Castillo in Chichén Itza, which is the embodiment of the Mayan Calendar. The reader learns about the Mayan culture, astronomy, the rainforest and the inner-workings of an archaeological dig as they visit cool Mayan ruins and tombs. All of this education is disguised within an action-packed adventure that is narrated by our hero 14-year old Ethan Sparks. The Ethan Sparks Adventures are fast-paced with short satisfying chapters and quick,witty humor. They engage and thrill today's attention spans, thus keeping the kids reading!

My action/adventure series now has four books.  Escape of the Terra-Cotta Soldiers set in China.  Revenge of Poseidon’s Trident set in Greece.  Chase of the Mummies set in Egypt. And the latest, March of the Mayans set in Mexico.

If you would like more information about the Ethan Sparks Adventure Series, please go to: www.ethansparksadventures.com.

The books are available on sites such as amazon.com, bn.com and many other booksellers online.  They are also available as E-books.
