- Reading
- Pause at major changes of location and invite predictions about which clues matter. Afterwards, compare those predictions with the revelation, while checking how the danger is presented and resolved.
- Themes

- Adventure under threat: Frank and Joe help Mr Hardy investigate while travelling between the United States, Zurich and the Yucatan jungle, despite threats to their lives. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Archaeological setting: The search leads to an archaeological dig in the Yucatan jungle and involves a valuable ancient gold figurine stolen from a New York museum. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
