The 39 Clues (The Maze of Bones, Book 1)
Date undefinedI ordered this for my son for Christmas. It arrived yesterday and it just sat there...enticing me. So I started to read just a bit to see what the hoopla was all about and lo and behold, I got sucked into the story.
I have absolutely no problem with the cards being part of it. My son collects cards from different things--why should this be any different than his Pokemon collection? He'll be reading...bonus #1....he gets to collect cards...bonus #2...and it's online as well...big bonus!

Date undefinedMy Mom got me the Maze of Bones book and some of the cards. I have to admit, I am not a reader! In fact if there is anything!! else to do I will do it to avoid reading. But, I really loved Maze of Bones. I loved the book because it doesn't really end. It keeps going and leads to another clue and another and so on. I liked the way the two kids even though they were alone and afraid at times they kept going. The other families or people looking for the clues were kind of weird and quirky and they made me laugh. I liked the cat Saladin ( murp:-) ). I think that maybe Amy and Dan's grandma knows something about the kids than we don't know yet. I think that they are really truly good and deserve something good to happen for them. I hope in the end Amy and Dan discover the secret first.

Date undefinedI bought this book for my class because some students asked for it. It is very much like many Japanese Manga books whose purpose is to collect and trade cards. The kids will go wild, the adults less so. The book is pretty well written for its kind but is merely busy and goes from one place to another like an amusement park ride. Not too different from you usual Hollywood movie nowadays. I'm sure a movie is in this book's future.
