The 39 Clues: Book One: Maze of Bones

So, this is supposed to be the next Harry Potter...there will be a series of 39 books all by different authors coming out over the next few years. Book 2 will be by Gordan Korman and due out in December and then book 3 comes out in April 2009...I loved it! I loved the plot, the adventure and the sneaky way that facts and places are snuck into the story so that kids can learn while they read and not really know it. This first book was written by Rick Riordan (The Lightening Thief/Percy Jackson series) kept me up late into the night to finish it! I just got back from France, so the fact that our characters end up in Paris was even more of a pull. Think Amazing Race meets Lemony Snickett meets DaVinci Code...but maybe even better! There is a brother sister team as the main characters and they dislike each other enough to make it real! The series is trying to combine reading with an online game and a possible prize winning...and I think so far, it is successful! Try it out!
