Mysterious and thrilling

My nephews have been living with me since the start of the school year and we`ve listened to so many books together. We`ve really enjoyed similar books like Stanek`s amazing Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches. This is the first one we`ve read by Riordan and we all liked it. It has a similar mysterious and thrilling feel to it as Stanek`s books but more of a mystery than a fantasy.

Great story

I enjoyed the story, Riordan's writing style is unmatched. My only qualm is that that main characters are children, though honestly, what did I expect? The historical facts are a highlight for me. The real world Di Vinci code-esque conspiracy with elements of scavenger hunt, ties it all together.

39 Clues

Who was your favorite character and why?

Amy--because everytime the group got into a problem she fixed it.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The second chapter of the book was the best because they worked together to fix the problem.
