Gemelos que est?n superando todo lo que conlleva una mudanza a una nueva ciudad son transportados en el tiempo por un libro m?gico en este primer libro de la serie de libros de cap?tulos "Legendarios", que es una combinaci?n de La casa del ?rbol m?gico y H?roes en entrenamiento. Los gemelos de nueve a?os, Emma y Mart?n, no podr?an ser m?s diferentes en sus personalidades, intereses e incluso en su apariencia. Pero en algo est?n absolutamente de acuerdo: mudarse de Cuernavaca, M?xico, a Illinois es una terrible idea. Desafortunadamente, no tienen opini?n al respecto cuando su pap? consigue su trabajo so?ado como director de una escuela secundaria en Chicago. Para ayudar a los gemelos a mantenerse conectados con su herencia mexicana, su abuela les regala un libro de leyendas mexicanas. El libro resulta ser m?s que un regalo de despedida... es un objeto m?gico que los transportar? directamente a las leyendas! En la primera leyenda, Emma y Mart?n se encuentran con Tl?loc, el dios de la lluvia. Tl?loc est? enojado porque su rayo ha sido robado, y su ira se manifiesta como un aguacero torrencial sobre la antigua ciudad de Texcoco. La lluvia no cesar? hasta que se le devuelva el rayo, por lo que Emma y Mart?n se disponen a recuperarlo. Encontrar?n el rayo de Tl?loc a tiempo para ayudar a la gente de Texcoco a salvar sus hogares? O la ira del dios de la lluvia marcar? el fin de esta ciudad legendaria?
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Twins coping with moving to a new city get swept back in time by a magical book in this first book in the Legendarios chapter book series that's Magic Tree House meets Heroes in Training! Nine-year-old twins, Emma, and Mart?n, couldn't be more different in their personalities, interests, and even their looks. But one thing they absolutely agree on is that moving from Cuernavaca, Mexico, to Illinois is a terrible idea. Unfortunately, they're not given a choice when their dad lands his dream job as a middle school principal in Chicago. To help the twins stay connected to their Mexican heritage, their abuela gifts them a book of Mexican legends. The book turns out to be more than a going away present...it's a magical item that transports them directly into the legends! In the first legend, Emma and Mart?n encounter Tlaloc, the god of rain. Tlaloc is angry because his lightning bolt has been stolen, and his rage is manifesting as a torrential downpour over the ancient city of Texcoco. The rain won't stop until the lightning bolt has been returned, so Emma and Mart?n set out to recover it. Will they find Tlaloc's bolt in time to help the people of Texcoco save their home? Or will the wrath of the rain god mark the end of this legendary city?
