The Maze of Bones by Rick Riordan is about Amy and Dan Cahill, orphans whose wealthy and influential grandmother just passed away. In her will, she gave 40 of her relatives a choice - take $1,000,000.00 or give up any inheritance to go on a quest to solve the 39 clues. These clues will lead the victor to a surprise that will make him or her the most powerful person in the world. Amy and Dan decide to go on the adventure! After solving the first clue and narrowly escaping death after someone burned down their grandmother's mansion, the Cahill siblings enlist the help of their nanny as they travel overseas to find the second clue. Amy and Dan aren't the only Cahills after the treasue. They are being followed by some of their distant relatives who are out to get them. Not only are they working to solve the cryptic messages left by ancient (and famous) ancestors, but they are trying to stay alive, facing attack after attack!This is the first book in The 39 Clues Series. Amy and Dan solve the first clue in this book and are well on their way to solving the second. It is full of action and adventure, and of course, mystery. There are cards and an online game that accompany this book series. I spent a good portion of Sunday afternoon playing online - solving the clues and learning more and more about the Cahill family. I even found a hidden message within the book itself - I don't know what it means yet, but I'm sure it's important! I absolutely love this mystery so far!! I can't wait to read the second book when it comes out in December!

I really like this book I can't wait until the next book. I hope the next book will be even better than this. The ending to this book is sort of unexpected too, which makes it even better.
