The Maze of Bones (39 Clues, No. 1)

By Rick Riordan

"You have a choice - one million dollars or a clue." - Author of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, the 39 Clues is a Cahill family competition. You either pick the million dollars or get the first clue. The Cahill family is the world's most powerful family. Name someone, they are in the family. Abraham Lincoln, Benjamin Franklin. Anybody. Even Amy and Dan didn't know they were related to people that famous. How could they be poor then? Who were their mom and dad? They had a lot of questions. Now they were stuck with their aunt. Their Grandmother Grace Cahill had left them. She was a great grandmother. I liked that Rick Riordan used words to describe the character's feelings at the time. Their au revoire is Nellie, who will take them all over the world. This book was really good. They find Clue 2 when they thought someone took it from them. I would recommend this book to mystery lovers and action lovers. I rate this 5 stars.

By Janet Pascal

I gave this book a 4 because Abraham Lincoln was my favorite president and he was one of the best in my opinion. The books talks about Abraham Lincoln's presidency, life , and struggles. He lived during the Civil War, and had to try to stop it. He had 4 kids one died at age 4, and he was very sad. He didn't let it stop him from doing good in life. Finally he fought in the war to serve his country.

Who Was Daniel Boone?

Who Was Daniel Boone?

By Sydelle Kramer

Who was Daniel Boone? Was written by Sydelle Kramer and Illustrated by George Ulrich Does someone that live in the woods and uses natures resources to live on interest you? Daniel Boone was born on November 2, 1734 in Reading Pennsylvania. Daniels daughter Jemima was captured by the Shawnee Indians and was later rescued by Daniel. On July 14, 1776 3 teenage girls were captured by the Shawnee Indians while they were floating on canoes on the Kentucky river, one of which was Jemima, Daniels daughter. Daniel was in constant battle with the Indians for land. That was always a big struggle for Daniel and his wife Rebecca. At one point Daniel decided to work with the Indians they even gave him an Indian name of Sheltowee, or Big Turtle. I enjoyed this book because it dealt with conflicts in the 1700's and even now a days we still have these arguments. But it shows us a positive side of how to work through it.
