Mystery on Macaw Mountain

By Maria Jose Fitzgerald

Birds of a feather solve crime together in this exciting middle grade mystery When eight endangered macaws are stolen from a bird sanctuary in the Mayan ruins of Cop n, four sleuthing cousins must find out who took them--and why.

Nico and his cousins don't have much in common, but they're all excited to visit the Mayan ruins at Cop n and witness the release of the scarlet macaws. Nearly extinct in Honduras, eight of these majestic birds are about to be introduced to a brand new bird sanctuary. But on the eve of the big day the birds are stolen

Who could have planned this bewildering bird heist--and why? Nico and his cousins are determined to find out--and anyone could be a suspect: poachers, developers, Mama's annoying novio . . . The investigation will take them from bustling downtown Cop n to the mist-shrouded ruins of Macaw Mountain, uniting the cousins as they unravel a plot far stranger than any of them could have imagined.
