The 39 Clues The Maze Of Bones is by Rick Riordan. The book is about a brother and sister named Dan and Amy whose Grandmother dies and creates a quest for only the Cahills. The Cahill family is the type of family who will do anything to get to be the most powerful person in the world. The quest takes chosen Cahill family members all across the world for one thing… the first of the 39 clues.
In the beginning of the book, the chosen family members are given a choice to walk out the door with 1,000,000 dollars in their hands or to attempt the life risking 39 clues. Six families picked the 39 clues, the Kabras, the Holts, Alistair Oh, Jonah Wizard, the Starlings and Dan and Amy. Dan has altitude problems and Amy has trouble speaking up to people.
A really important event in the book was in the beginning when Dan and Amy chose to burn up the million dollars and take the really small clue: THE FINE PRINT TO SEEK OUT RICHARD S—-. Another important part was when the mansion went up in flames which is when they discovered their secret admirer aka THE MAN IN BLACK. One last important part is when Dan and Amy find out that everyone is against them, in other words, trying to kill them but they are all family members.
This book would be ranked my fourth favorite book I have ever read. My favorite part of the book is when they are in the catacombs in Paris because I went in the catacombs when I went to Paris and I know, and can relate to the feeling of being creeped out. My least favorite was when I closed it. I would give this book ***** five stars. People who like mystery books and a little bit of realistic fiction, this book is for you.
Whoa! The 4th best book you’ve ever read? I’m curious what your top three are. Your review is really fun to read. I also am impressed at how deeply you thought about what categories you tagged this under.
One suggestion though – re-read your review. There are some strange spacing issues and other assorted grammatical problems that I’m sure you can catch if you simply re-read your work, sentence by sentence … slooooowly.
Lots of spacing, weird cut ofs and grammatical and spelling mistakes. I agree with dan; re-reading helps.
I thought they would get a million dollars not a thousand.
Did you know that each book in that series is by a different author. It gives you a good idea for your next series because book #3 in that series is by Peter Lerangis and I read the Colossus Rises and Lost in Babylon, both by Peter Lerangis.
It is a good review, but there are a few spoilers. Maybe you should take a few minutes to edit this. It would be very quick.
hmmm…….. I read this book 2 years ago and it was one of my favorites. Are you going to read the other ones?
They find the Lucian serum in this one, right?
This book sounds very exiting, and I like exiting books. You made me want to read this!
Since this is your fourth favorite book and I know you well I will probably read this book. I normally wouldn’t read this book. Your review is good too so that is two reasons to read the book.
I strongly disagree about putting this in realistic fiction because as some of the parts of the book will never happen in real life for instance, those hyper security cameras and a split up family will never happen. If it does, slap me.
I like how discriptive you were.
This is a VERY good book. If you like it you should read the second then the third, they keep getting better.
Rick Riordan is one of my favorite authors! You convinced me to read the book! I like how you included all of the names of all the people.
I started that and loved it but I did not get the chance to finish and did you notice how thin the pages are in the book they seamed a little weird to me but that does not matter.
