Book Description
In this first book in a new trilogy created by new media genius Jordan Weisman, Nathan Richards is your typical teen, one of the smartest at his school and the son of two famous archeologists, but he fails at everything because he refuses to apply himself. Never knowing his mother, who died on an archeological dig in a Mayan tomb while giving birth to him, Nathan is shocked, when on his thirteenth birthday he receives his birthright from the Mayan god Kukulkan. He is granted the ability to travel the frequencies and interact with the dead—including his mother! Now the fate of the human race rests with Nathan, who must play a game for the world’s survival—all culminating with the end of the Mayan calendar on December 21, 2012. Now it is time for Nathan to use his newfound gifts, fulfill his potential, and save the world!

A Great Story, May 31 2010
A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lost Souls: Burning Sky (Hardcover)
I like the ghosts in the story. The ghosts are called lost souls. The main character is Nathan. The story starts with his 13th birthday. He is the only person that can see or talk with ghosts in the home frequency after his 13th birthday. I like the story because Nathan has the power to communicate with lost souls and to travel through the frequencies. Each frequency is like a different world. When he looks through frequencies, he can see objects that are buried underground or in a wall. He has a little help from his cousin to solve the mystery of who murdered John Montoya, a police officer.The book even comes with a board game. It is the same game that Nathan plays in the story.

Clever and Fresh, July 1 2010
By SciFiChick "The SciFiChick" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lost Souls: Burning Sky (Hardcover)
Nathan Richards smart teenager who refuses to live up to his potential, always living in his older cousin's shadow. But on the night he turns 13, he is given a strange and unique gift. He can travel between different frequencies (realities) and talk to the dead. With this gift, he has to play a game tied to Mayan mythology against Kukulkan. And Nathan has to win in order to save the world from ending on December 21, 2012.The first in a new trilogy, the novel for middle readers come packaged with a copy of the actual game from the story. And the game's instructions are detailed at the end of the book. Whereas, Nathan must learn the rules and game instructions throughout the course of his adventures. Nathan is a likeable kid, with a tragic family. His mother died when he was born. And his father is so focused on his work, that he neglects his only child. And though Nathan is reluctant about the Game, he is focused on doing the right thing, even if it means putting himself in jeopardy.
With the popularity of Mayan culture in children's books lately, this new trilogy has a fun niche literally incorporating a game - and helps to pull the reader even more into the story. This first in the trilogy is fast-paced, full of mystery and wonder. The adventure and suspense will attract readers of all ages. It's fun, engaging, and exciting. Ending with a mild cliffhanger counting down to the supposed end of the world, I eagerly await the next installment.
