Lisa and Roper are about to have

the adventure of a lifetime.

When Mattie sends the fourteen-year-olds into the desert to look for ancient pictures on the rocks, Lisa and Roper have no idea how valuable the petroglyphs might be. Then they start disappearing -- the petroglyphs that is. And soon trees are missing as well!

Surrounded by banana-eating butterflies, a demanding raven and a steer named Hercules, Lisa, Roper and eight-year-old Katie set out to solve this incredible mystery before it's too late.

Will they be able to save the petroglyphs?

Are tofu-caper hot dogs legal?

And who is that creepy security guard?

Puzzle from the Past

"Archeology can, admittedly, be a dull subject to teach if not presented just right. Why should children care about some old rock etchings when graffiti is in full-color? I home-school my three kids (ages 10, 12 and 14) and used these books (Puzzle from the Past; Present from the Past) to introduce them to the basic ideas of hunting for the past. The books are not lesson books; they're adventure books. They worked perfectly to pique their interest."

--Hannah P., Reader from Phoenix, AZ
