The 39 Clues: Maze of Bones by Rick Riordan, Review by Jacob

This book was a very cool idea, and it moves pretty fast. There was a lot of action, as well as some funny sentences. The book also has lots of different settings around the world. It is part of a large series, so there are lots of books after this one.

Many kids have read this book. My friends who have read it told me it was very good. The idea of this book is very cool, and this author writes many good books.

Amy and Dan Cahill are orphans living with their great aunt and their au pair, Nellie, in Boston. When their favorite grandma dies, they go to her funeral, where they find they have many more relatives than they realize. In their grandmother’s will, all of a group of relatives are given the choice to be put on a quest to have tons of power in the world. Amy and Dan accept the challenge, but so do some of their relatives, who are not the nicest aunts and uncles, and the quest turns out to be more than just a friendly scavenger hunt.
