- Book Summary: The first book of the 39 Clues series, The Maze of Bones introduces readers to the orphans Dan and Amy. Their grandmother dies and in her will sends them on a worldwide scavenger hunt for "the greatest secret of the Cahills" and a mission to save the world. In this first book they discover that their relatives pretend to help, but really hinder. In fact, their relatives try to kill them while they search for their first clue.

- My Impressions: I am hooked! As of the writing of this post I am on book seven of the series. Amy, Dan, and Nellie (their au pair not babysitter!) are on the adventure of a lifetime. They go places I only dream of going. Dan has a photographic memory that I am totally jealous of and Amy is an excellent problem solver. Nellie, it turns out, is more than she seems to be and a mystery to be solved. Amy and Dan's relatives have their positive points, but are truly out for themselves. I think any child will find something in these books to enjoy; from catacombs full of skeletons to falling into a deep pit in a cemetery. The 39 Clues are addictive.

| Booklist ( October 15, 2008; 9780545090544 ) | |
| In a bold leap forward in marketing strategy, this first book in the 39 Clues series introduces readers to what promises to be a sensational mix of reading, online gaming, card-collecting, and even a grand-prize sweepstakes. The premise of the book: Grace Cahill, matriarch of the world's most powerful family, dies and leaves behind a challenge to her descendants. They can either inherit one million dollars, or forgo the money and receive the first of 39 clues that will lead them on an around-the-world adventure in search of, well, that's a secret. But it's an earth-shattering secret, and with 10 books planned for the series (each by a different author), it had better pay off in the end. Riordan, who has plotted the main arc for the series, gets the ball rolling nicely with likable brother-and-sister heroes, a cast of backstabbing relatives, and a smattering of puzzles and clues to decipher in the quest for the ultimate secret. Whether this intriguing book represents the first major event in a shifting world of publishing, or is simply a clever money- and attention-grabbing ploy remains to be seen, but it will be fascinating to see what kids make of it. (Library edition does not include game cards).--Chipman, Ian Copyright 2008 Booklist | |
