Knowing your grass roots, extended family and all, can be a huge part of understanding one’s self. As the Cahill siblings continue on their journey to win the race by solving the mystery of all 39 clues, determination and self discovery are key themes. Note: A discovery I made is that the books will be completed by 5 authors, each writing 2 of the books in the series.Īuthor number 2 of 5, Gordon Korman, transitions readers smoothly into book two, One False Note, and manages to strengthen the readers relationship with the characters. Riordan has outlined the rest of the series, but it will be completed by the 9 other authors. Rick Riordan (author of The Lightning Thief) has set the pace well, creating a suspenseful adventure and scattering it with secretive clues. Maze of Bones is the first book of a ten book series written by ten different well-known authors. Not to mention the interactive website and collectible clue cards. Here is what I had to say after reading book one: Calling all reluctant readers! Action, mystery, suspense, and orphans, all mixed into a well-balanced, fast read. What to expect: Mystery, Action, Suspense, Babysitter, Brothers and Sisters, Family, Orphans, Travel Publisher: Scholastic Press 1st edition (December, 2008) By Bianca Schulze, The Children’s Book Review
