J&P Voelkel are the writing team of Jon and Pamela Voelkel, who together created the Jaguar Stones series. The four books blend Maya mythology with modern-day adventure, following a teenager who discovers a hidden world connected to ancient Central American civilizations. Middleworld launched the series in 2007, and the final book, The Lost City, was published in 2015.

The Voelkels bring a personal connection to the material, having lived in Central America. Their books are aimed at middle-grade readers and combine historical and cultural detail with fast-paced plotting. The series is a good choice for young readers interested in mythology beyond the Greek and Norse traditions that dominate much of the genre.
