__The Maze of Bones__ Melody Buckley

My mystery book is __The Maze of Bones__ by Rick Riordan. __The Maze of Bones__ is about Nellie, Dan Cahill, Amy Cahill, and the Holts family. There are two mysteries in my book: who's setting the traps that are stopping Dan, Amy, Nellie and who will become the most important person in the world. The book takes place in Paris and Boston. In the beginning Dan and Amy Cahill are at their grandmother’s funeral. When Mr. McIntyre said, “under your seats you will find a note but only some of you will find it.” Amy and Dan found one under their chair. They had to go inside the mansion for something. They either got to keep 2millon dollars or let the money go up in flames and get a clue. So they took the challenge. The clues that helped my character solve the mystery are that when Dan and Amy fell down a hole the Holts family was standing at the top of the hole laughing at them. There was a guy in black watching them. It was really Eisenhower Holt. Eisenhower said,"You got past the fire and the bomb." The other clues that helped my characters solve the mystery are the clues they get. The clue said,"The fine print to guess seek out Richard S." All the teams had to seek out the other clues. Amy and Danare in the lead. My favorite character in this story is Dan because he almost got killed by a train trying to save his pack which had some important stuff for clue two. He also struggled through the burning mansion with a fat cat. I liked this book because of the adventure. I liked the part where Amy, Dan, and Nellie have to run through the catacombs trying to find a magic box. The catacombs are creepy. They are filled with dead people. I learned a lot from this story. I learned that mysteries are a lot harder than you think. It’s not just getting on the internet. You have to travel for instance Amy, Dan, and Nellie have to get 3 airplane tickets from Boston to Paris. That would cost a lot. You also have to know how to speak French. That’s hard. I hope you enjoyed my report.
