The Maze of Bones (The 39 Clues, #1)

  Amy and Dan Cahill have the craziest, meanest family. Their parents died years ago, putting them into their Aunt Beatrice's care (who only took them in due to family obligation. Otherwise they'd be in foster care). The only Cahill who doesn't bully Amy and Dan is their grandmother Grace, and sadly, she's gone.
   But only in certain aspects. At Grace's funeral Amy and Dan, along with several other relatives, are told that their family has a secret--a dangerous secret that can only be found by finding and following 39 clues. Thus begins the most dangerous, life-changing journey of Amy and Dan's lives.

   While these books may be a little below my reading level, they are just as enjoyable as any of Rick Riordan's works. I loved the characteristics and uniqueness of the Cahill family, I loved the relationship between Amy and Dan, and I can definitely relate to Amy's love of libraries. The only thing I didn't like was the unresolved ending; it leaves you begging for more, that's for sure!
