Fever Pitz

About

With her city facing a struggle for survival, Mayan teen Brightness can only hope that the gods will smile on her.  To prove her courage before them, she must pay the Mayan ball game ‘pitz’ with all her strength and skill.  If she loses the game she will be placed beneath the High Priest’s knife – her blood a sacrifice to the Lords of the Sky.

Key Selling Points:

• Reads like a ‘football novel’ but set in the world of the ancient Mayans
• There is a shortage of books about the Mayans at primary level and they are a popular primary topic
• A page-turning epic about pitz – the Mayan game played with a small rubber ball for life or death stakes
