I love Rick Riordan, and this wasn't his best book, but still amazing! It was a great kick off to the 39 Clues series. This book was just brilliant!

Here we start a new advenger the 39 clues this book is about 2 siblings called Amy and Dan and were very special after their grandmother died and something was hidden away from them that they will be the next 39 clues which is a true big secret that is very hidden some where around the world. They follow the footsteps of their parents of how they died once they find each clue to find the true story which takes them to the Maze of Stones. This book is full of suspence and u really want to know what will happen next. It requires cards of the latest things of the clues and games to actaully think you are in the 39clues. This book is awesome.

This book is about 2 siblings named Amy and Dan Cahill. These siblings get sent to their grandmother's funeral and discover something amazing. Their grandmother has put a treasure hunt into her will. It was announced that there will be 39 clues (besides the starting clues that each participant will get) hidden across the world. Now Amy and Dan have to compete against far richer family members to find the clues and then the treasure. This book was somewhat annoying to read. The plot was confusing because of the many events happening at once, especially during the start of the book. At the beginning, there were so many different characters being introduced at once that I couldn't comprehend all of them. Overall I would not recommend this book.

This book was hard for me to read but the story is about a girl and a boy who go in a secret tunnel and find a lot of books and then smoke is on the top of the secret tunnel and they leave with a jewelry box (which they weren't suppose to take). This leads them on a long adventure that was exciting and mysterious but hard to read the long book.
This is about Amy and Dan Cahill, two kids who joined a challenge to find 39 clues to be the most powerful Cahills in history. It was awesome. People would like this book if they like mysteries and puzzles.
Amy and Dan Cahill's grandmother passes away, and the funeral attracts family from all over the world. But a clue hunt that wins the winning team(or person) many millions their grandmother accumulated. Only few Cahill's comply to the clue hunt, including Amy and Dan. They first bribe their nanny(or their preferred term, au pair) with money, French guys, and French food. Traveling to France with their au pair, Nellie, they find out that the competition could kill them. They almost died in a museum and a construction site. On a personal note: the whole series is so exciting and adventurous that I am keeping up with the whole series at my local library.
This is a horrible, boring book. I wouldn't reccomend it. The Maze of bones is a book you count the pages to the end. One of the worst of the 39 clues.
This book was about two siblings whose grandmother just died. She was part of a big secret organization. She left behind in her will a mysterious journey that anyone in her family could take. Dan and Amy (the siblings), obviously take it. What will happen? Read to find out. This book was pretty good.
This book is a very interesting and adventure packed book. I feel this book is so greate there is no need to read the rest of the series. escpeacailly because i myself have reread this book multiple times!
