Book: The Maze Of Bones
Reader: Eva
I am in a reading group at school, and we choose a new novel to read every 2 months or so.
I have not enjoyed any of the books we have read as much as I enjoyed The Maze of Bones by Rick Riordan. Scary name, right?
I didn't think I'd like a book by Rick Riordan because he wrote The Lightning Thief and the other Percy Jackson books, which didn't appeal to me.
This book is the 1st book in the 10-book-long series The 39 Clues. Every book is written by a different author.
The main characters, a smart 11-year-old boy aspiring to be a ninja warrior and his 14-year-old sister/bookworm, seem so innocent you just have to be on their side. Yet, they trust the villiains (described as "dry" in a review) much too easily, which can make the reader momentarily lose hope for them.
The two kids discover that they are part of the Cahill family, which is the most powerful family in the world. Famous Cahills include Mozart (Nannerl and Wolfgang), Einstein, Napoleon, and Babe Ruth!
I recommend this book to someone who is looking for a quick read with comedy, adventure, and a bit of romance and violence. Once you pick up this book, you can't put it down!

Well, I have to say that I enjoyed this review. But the mystery for me is "Which Eva wrote it?" It appears to be a book for younger readers, which makes me suspect that the review was written by Eva House. But it's written in a very adult style, making me think it's Eva Opitz, but I don't think she's participating in the Family of Readers.
The final guess? Eva House. Way to go, Eva!
