A Newbery Medal Winner An Incan boy who tends llamas in a hidden valley in Peru learns the traditions and secrets of his ancestors. "The story of an Incan boy who lives in a hidden valley high in the mountains of Peru with old Chuto the llama herder. Unknown to Cusi, he is of royal blood and is the 'chosen one.' A compelling story."— Booklist
Born in Las Vegas, New Mexico, Ann Nolan Clark graduated from New Mexico Highlands University in 1919 with a degree in education. For many years she worked for the US Bureau of Indian Affairs as a teacher of Native American students. After noticing that her Tesuque Pueblo school had scarcely any educational material geared toward Native Americans, she began to write children's books that catered to the language and culture of her students. While traveling through Mexico, Guatemala, Peru, Ecuador, Costa Rica, and Brazil under the employment of the Institute of Inter-American Affairs, Clark was inspired to write her 1953 Newbery Medal–winning book Secret of the Andes .

My son read this while we spent 2 weeks jn the andes near machu picchu
Just came back with my 9 year old son and 13 year old daughter from a 3 week trip to PERU (we visited machu picchu twice). 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.
