Eliza Lomax is thrilled when her Uncle Carl and his anthropologist girlfriend, Julie, invite her to spend the summer in Mexico while Julie is conducting an important dig near Oaxaca. Eliza meets a Zapotec boy and together they will enter a time warp in which Uncle Carl is playing an ancient game against his will. What Eliza does to save her uncle is the thrilling climax of this story. When Eliza sightsees in Mexico City, she visits the Museo de Antropología, where she learns about the Mexican Indian peoples, ancient and modern.
