The 39 Clues the Maze of Bones

Riordan, Rick. The 39 Clues the Maze of Bones. New York: Scholastic, 2008. 220 pages. (Adventure/Mystery Fiction)

Amy and Dan Cahill were living a poor but normal life in their apartment with their au pair Nellie Gomez. Then when their grandmother Grace Cahill died, they were hoping they could gain a few bucks by going to her funeral. Later they find out that their family is the most powerful family in the world! Amy, Dan, and several other teams all go around the world to hunt for the 39 Clues. The Holts who could bench twice their own weight and the Starlings who ended up being taken out of the competition after a fatal bomb were a couple of the teams in the big hunt.

This is an amazing packed with action book that I just could not put down. It had tones of details which just made it that much easier to read! I selected this book because I saw the website 39clues.com and I wanted to read it so I could know about the website.

For years they had never been found in their house in the mountains. That is about to change when the erasers take Angel ands sends Max and her friends all around the U.S. looking for her.

I think the author would be a good teacher because he is very good at describing things and how they work. I liked this book because it was filled with action, suspense, and unexpected twists from the beginning to the end.

The Serpent’s Shadow

Riordan, Rick. The Serpent’s Shadow. New York: Hyperion Books, 2012. 406. (Fantasy Series)

Carter and Sadie Kane have, in the loosest sense, an irregular life. Well, it’s chaotic. Literally. Both of their parents are descended from Egyptian magicians, their mother’s dead, and their father is the host of Osiris, the god of the dead. Apart from that, they have to run the whole 21st Nome by themselves, and their Uncle, the Chief Lector, has to deal with most of the Nomes turning against him with the belief that he is conspiring with the god that is the least of their problems, Set, god of evil. Carter, a fifteen-year-old boy who recently hosted the war god, Horus, is, like his sister, still affected by the time sharing a mind, and is focusing all his attention on training his initiates, keeping them from dying, and looking for the Chaos snake, Apophis. His sister, Sadie, who hosted the magic goddess, Isis, is concerned with one of her initiates and her crush, Walt Stone, practically living at death’s door, her other crush, Anubis, god of death, being kept from her, and her personal scolder, Isis, nagging her about joining together again to defeat Apophis. The count is on for the fall equinox, and Carter and Sadie are running out of time to find a way to defeat Apophis.

I strongly recommend this book to any teen looking for an exciting, unpredictable, and slightly violent book. Even though the first two books in the series should be read first, it is sufficient by itself. It is a perfect book.
