Obscure Gary Jennings

Having become a die hard Gary Jennings fan, I have found that the same author of Aztec and many other historical novels wrote several children and young adult books in the 70's. This book is an enchanting tale although short that is about a mystery that takes place in Mexico. It involves a mysterious rope far in the jungle and several characters that try to figure out a mystery that surrounds this rope. The book would be easy reading for children but I found it quite fun and a short read. Though it is not tradional Gary Jennings as Raptor or Journeyer it was well worth my time.
