The Jake Ransom series marks James Rollins’ first venture into middle-grade adventure. Jake and his sister were left orphaned when their parents, two respected archaeologists, disappeared during an expedition in Mexico. Three years on, an unmarked package lands on their doorstep, holding their parents’ long-lost logbooks. Those pages set the siblings on a daring journey through time and into hidden, uncharted lands, where they hope to learn what really happened.
