Includes a website, so far the story has 11 books, games and cards to keep you engaged; this can put a little bit of a hole in your pocket. I’ve read the first three books.
The Maze of Bones by Rick Riordan
After the death of their grandmother, Amy and Dan (14 and 11) are given a choice; Inherit One Million Dollars each or to go on a dangerous scavenger hunt in search of 39 clues that will lead them to a family secret that would make them the most powerful members of the family. They discover that their family, The Cahills, is no ordinary family. Benjamin Franklin it turns out is one of their ancestors and the focus of book 1. The story is full of adventure and very fun to read.
The adventure continues and the writer has kept the pace. The story focuses on Maria Anna "Nannerl" Mozart, older sister of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, was a very talented musician in her own right. Her talent was never acknowledged and eventually suppressed because she was a woman. Amy and Dan follow clues that lead them to Vienna and Salzburg in Austria and Venice , Italy
The Sword Thief by Peter Lerangis
I didn't like the beginning of this book and found Amy and Dan acting like idiots, sounding like babbling fools. I felt like Amy was not dependable and her stutter was becoming annoying. Towards the middle the story really picks up and I really liked the end of the book. Amy, Dan and a few of the Cahills are in Japan and South Korea
