Book excerpt: When his archaeologist father goes missing after an air crash in Mexico, UFO-obsessed Josh Garcia suspects alien abduction. He starts a blog to voice his fears and finds like-minded friends. But after he discovers his dad was murdered, Josh is caught up in a race to find the legendary Ix Codex - a lost book of the ancient Maya containing a prophecy about the end of the world. Praise for 'The Joshua Files': "As thrilling as a rollercoaster ride, this fantastical world of spies, spirits, ancient prophecies and hidden cities tests Josh to his limits." The Book Trust "This series is awesome and I have really enjoyed it. 5/5 stars!" Guardian Children's Books "A very well-crafted saga... Has a compelling energy." The Bookbag "Indiana Jones would have stiff competition in young Joshua Garcia, the protagonist of this fast-paced action adventure. Highly Recommended." Library Media Connection, starred review
