I was homeschooling them while on this trip. So before we left i ordered a bunch of fiction and non fiction books about Peru (some to read before, during or after this trip)That being said, this book was interesting to my son and even my daughter wanted to read it. It was informative and it helped prepare my kids for this trip.My son read the bulk of this book while on his OWN ADVENTURE in the sacred valley. Coincidentally, when the boy arrived in cusco, we had just arrived in cusco after spending a week deeper in ollantaytambo. It was so cool to see my 9 year old feel like he was the character.No issues with seller or shipping. Book was as described. ### ⭐⭐ I'm not sure who the audience today is supposed to be? *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 29, 2012* Secret of the Andes by Ann Nolan Clark won the Newbery Medal in 1953. While I personally found the book disappointing it does have a few good things going for it. 1. the Setting of the book is unique to Newberry books. I enjoyed reading the author's descriptions of the Andes mtns. 2, the plot rotates around an incan boy raised in the mtns of Peru. No other book tells a story like this in the Newbery Library, where a native from another culture deals with the changing world around them. 3. The writing itself is superb! I felt the author was very descriptive and really was an expert in telling the story.BUT, with all of that said, there were issues that made the book my least favorite so far in the Newbery list. 1. The book has a very slow start, 2. This one is key: I don't know who is supposed to read this now. What age? I think that a 10 year old will get lost in the story and not understand and that 13+ will find the story boring and not invest the time in it. Perhaps this question is an indictment on the our current culture and the lack of time investing in reading, but I think this book has lost it's audience. **This, while not Clark or the book's fault is a problem. The year that Secret of the Andes won the Newbery, Charlotte's Web was in contention, yet did not win. How is that possible. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bought as a gift *by J***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 25, 2021* My mom read this as a little girl and it made her want to visit someday...Before turning 70, I found out she was finally going to go and gave this to her before she left.Perfect gift!! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/5892580-secret-of-the-andes-puffin-book](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/5892580-secret-of-the-andes-puffin-book) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
