The Maze of Bones 39 Clues No 1 Rick Riordan 9780545060394 Books

I was reluctant to plunge into this series. Ten books to complete the first story arc seemed like a lot to sign up for but I was encouraged by how much I've enjoyed Riordan's other series.

The book has a lot in common with those other series. We have youthful protagonists, one male, one female, who have a lot of responsibility thrust on them suddenly. They find out that the world is not at all like the one they thought they knew. It is run by a large and powerful extended family, the Cahills, to which they belong and which has several branches. They are in competition to solve a mystery which promises great power with other members (all suitably nasty, devious, and sly) who will stop at little to prevail. The series title, "The 39 Clues", is all you need to know to conclude we're in for a long ride. The clues are scattered all over the world. The first book takes us from Boston to Philadelphia to Paris as our protagonists sort out clues left by family member Benjamin Franklin.

The book is not told in first person as in some of Riordan's other series. The viewpoint does shift chapter by chapter from 14 year old Amy to her 11 year old brother Dan with short chapters interspersed showing other developments. Riordan's familiarity with the adolescent mind leads to much of the book's humor.

The book is somewhat shorter than Riordan's other series books and although he is in overall control of the plot other authors will write the other books. The present book really can't be enjoyed by itself as no real conclusion is reached. That said, I'm impressed enough to push on to Book 2.

I read this on my Kindle and the book seems perfectly formatted for that device. There are numerous graphics throughout the story but they are reproduced perfectly. There are a lot of online games and trading cards and such associated with this series but there is no hint that a reader needs to involve himself in them if he is just looking for a good story.

All in all, highly recommended.

The Maze of Bones 39 Clues No 1 Rick Riordan 9780545060394 Books Reviews

I chose 5 stars because this book was awesome! It had all the adventure a book could need. I highly recommend this book for young readers who enjoy a story that takes place all around the world, competitiveness and a fight.
Interesting concept – lots of books taking the reader all around the world in a sort of geographic exploration. But the first book is different than others in the series (better, as it has a better author), but doesn't come close to a resolution, so I can't really recommend it. It's setting you up to spend a bloody fortune if you buy all of these books to try and finish the mystery. A little slow going for some readers to not be able to really get any resolution for books and books.
I wanted to read this series before I got it for my grandson for Christmas. I loved the Harry Potter series and this reminds me of that in a new way. Could not put this first book down and will read the rest before he gets it on Christmas Day. It teaches children tons of historical knowledge without them knowing. Now, on to book 2!!!
Two of my boys have read this book. The 9 year old loves to read and truly enjoyed this book and plans on reading the rest of the series. It was fun to watch him try to predict the outcome! One of my older sons has an eye condition, therefore, reading is not fun. We allow him to read a bit and also listen (on Audible) so the eye doesn't bother him too much. Even though this series is below his reading level- he loves it and has read 3 so far. I generally read what my kids are reading...so I can say that I recommend this series! Great for reluctant readers!
The Cahill family is divided into four main lines, descendants from the four children hundreds of years ago. These four branches of the family tree do not get along with each other. Especially now after the death of the Cahill matriarch.
At the reading of the will, 44 relatives were each given the choice of taking one million dollars or the ability to search for 39 clues that would lead one of them to the family secret and unimaginable power.
It is now a high stakes race to find and decipher the clues with lots of backstabbing, sabotaging, and dirty tricks.
The good guys are very likable and the puzzles and clues to clues are fun.
I read there are supposed to be ten books in all. But by the end of this book they are on their way to finding only the second clue. At this rate I don't see how they will get all 39 in only 10 books. I hope later books won't feel rushed.
Great series. I've always screened the books my kids read and I really suggest these to everyone. Late in the third set of the series it loses its way. Till then it's great.
The 39 Clues The Maze of Bones by Rick Riordan is the first in a new trans-media series that connects books, clues, and website experiences together. Amy and Dan Cahill are at the center of a mystery adventure reminiscent of the DaVinci Code book and National Treasure movies. The two children are competing with powerful and influential family members to find clues leading to what's been described as the greatest treasure of all time. Woven through the books are historical references, mathematical problems, and intriguing puzzles that will eventually lead to a solution.

The quirky characters and fast pace make this book a quick, interesting read. The accompanying website is an element sure to draw in reluctant readers.

The focus on history and puzzles reminds me of the books of Blue Balliett.

One book down, just thirty-eight to go. This series will keep people of all ages reading for years to come.
