The 39 Clues: The Maze of Bones

Today I want to talk about a book I read called The 39 Clues: The Maze of Bones, by Rick Riordan( this series has multiple authors) . This book commences with Grace Cahill, the grandmother of Amy and Dan Cahill, passing away. But just minutes before that, Grace changed her will. This new will declared that every important person to the family can either have 1,000,000 dollars on the spot, or have a chance to for take in the hunt for the 39 clues. On the day of the funeral, Dan and Amy Cahill, direct descendants of Grace, burn TWO MILLION DOLLARS, and take the piece of paper that will lead them to infinite power and riches. This hunt brings Amy, Dan, and their au pair Nellie, To France, and into the depths of the catacombs, All the while being hunted down by insane relatives.

I give this book a 8 out of 10 because I usually love anything Rick Riordan writes. 

I think this book is for anyone 9-13, because there are a lot of difficult words and things to understand.

CROWN BROTHERS

Hi guys, first off I just want to say I'm really sorry about the recent lack of posts, I've just been very busy and now that summer is coming, (WOOHOO!) I'll be able to recommence posts as I did before. So onto today's post.




Today I'm going to be sharing a snapshot of a book I am writing called CROWN BROTHERS, which is set in the medieval times and is about two royal twins, one receives the crown and the other starts a rebel group to take him down.This will also be a project I will be working on over the course of the summer. So here it is:


Ruthen's eyes filled with tears as he watched the crown being placed atop his brothers head. Knox had always been the family favourite, always gotten what he wanted. That pet salamander on their seventh birthday, that new horse on their 14th. And know he was becoming ruler of the kingdom. Growing up, Ruthen had always dreamed of the moment the gleaming jeweled crown of Knowdale would be placed upon his jet black hair."That crown should be mine!" thought Ruthen, tears pooling on the brim of his crooked nose. He fealt like a tiny beast was ripping his heart into small peices. He wanted the beast to come out and knock Knox's stupid smile off his face. But he knew he coulden't, not now, not with all these people around. "But one of these days," he thought," It will have to escape."  


If later on you want to know more about this project, let me know in the comment section below!
