When Grace Cahill was almost dead, she changed her will, saying 1 million or a clue. It turns out that Grace is the last matriarch of the Cahills, the world's most powerful family, because a lot of powerful families were related to the Cahills, but the beginning was lost.There were 39 clues oer the world, and they all help in finding the beginning of the Cahills.
It starts off kind of low but by the second clue it picks up the speed and becomes action-packed. if you like any action you will like this book. overall great book
When you first start reading this, it may seem dull, but as you venture further into the book, you will realize how much you enjoyed it, and continue on to the next page turner - A false note.
It is about this two kids that there grandmother just died and the find out the are part of this quest to find a treasurer. It is a fun book!
this book was probably the best of the whole series and there are a lot of books in the series. the first sentence makes you read the book
this book got me hooked on the series.
So far the Maze of Bones is good. I like 39 clues, I think it is really cool of they solve mysteries and stuff. 39 clues is a good series.
Amy and Dan Cahill are orphans and now their grandmother, the woman they were closest to after their parents, has died, leaving behind a very strange will. She gives each of her descendants a choice: one million dollars or a clue. A clue to the power behind the Cahill family name, a family which the greatest people of all time have all belonged to (such as Houdini, George Washington, Da Vinci, etc.). Now it's up to Amy and Dan to escape with their half-babysitter, kill her credit card and figure out the formula to the Cahills' success or the reason behind their parents' death. This book is full of suspense and leaves you wanting more until you finish the entire series and find out that you have to wait until the next book comes out. Each book reveals one of the 39 clues in an action packed adventure. (Read all of them. Now.)
This was a good start to the 39 clues series! The Maze of Bones is about two kids who are orphaned and lives with their aunt. They sometimes visit their grandmother, Grace Cahil. But their grandmother has died. At her will, the Cahil kids are given the option: one million dollars or a hint to the first clue in a set of 39 clues that lead to something big -- like ruling the world. I would take the million dollars, but the Cahil kids choose to get the first hint. Can they find the clues on time? Find out in the Maze of Bones by Rick Riordan.
