THE MARK OF ATHENA By Rick Riordan

Annabeth is very frustrated... she is worried that when she reunites
with Percy he will have changed, It has been six months and believe  me
people can change! Soon Annabeth receives a note...   Dear Annabeth, take
three friends to the Argo II... AVENGE ME!!!     -Athena. That note terrified Annabeth! 
And the most disturbing part was this note was from her Mother! , 
ATHENA... Annabeth had not seen her for years yet she always  knew
her mother was up in the clouds starring down at her...   BEWARE THE ARGO II...

Annabeth was the main character [of course]. Annabeth had a big struggle
with her mother, Athena because she had not seen her mother in years, 
and years! She always thought her mother had bailed on her! Annabeth
had another struggle with Percy... Annabeth had just reunited and had not
been together for the longest time! {six months}

Annabeth had a big struggle with life itself. She most of the time was never
happy or never had a smile on her face. Life was a nightmare come true,
everything was a really big challenge for her and she could not really function
as well as everybody else.

Annabeth goes from a lonely, twisted minded girl to a warrior of
wisdom! There are some very big changes that she goes from through-out
the story... these are very hard changes to make and are brave to
dodge!

Annabeth reminds me of a friend named Sally... She had a mind
just like Annabeth, she thought everything was out to get her,
even her cat, Mr.Butler, [frankly he really was out to get her]!

THE 39 CLUE THE MAZE OF BONES By Rick Riordan

               
                          Dan and Amy Cahill were chosen from one of the many people to come in the great hall to their grandmother's will who is now buried, Grace Cahill. The people had choices to get either $1,000,000 or go on a quest that will make them the most powerful living being in the world. Amy and Dan picked the quest and now they don't know what's in front of them.

                          One of the problems Amy and Dan had was competitors. There were people like Jonah Wizard, Ian and Natalie Kabra, Alstair Oh, Irina Spasky, and the Starlings, Ted, Ned, and Sinead.


                           The problem that Amy and Dan has had was they were targeted. Everybody knew Dan and Amy were Grace Cahill's favorites of all. Every person knows who to get stuff and find information from, Dan and Amy.

THE 39 CLUES: THE MAZE OF BONES BY Rick Riordan

Genre: Mystery

     The 39 Clues is a story of a boy named Dan Cahill, a girl named Amy Cahill, and a babysitter named Nellie. Amy, Dan, and Nellie go on an adventure that brings them to Philadelphia and France. They are trying to find clues to a treasure that their grandmother, Grace Cahill, hid. There are other people competing with Dan and Amy to get the clues.

     Amy and Dan are against the other competitors, Ian and Natalie Kabra, the Holt family, Alastair Oh, Jonah Wizard and his dad, Ned Ted and Sinead Starling, and Irina Spasky.

      The conflict is that Amy and Dan try to get clues but the other competitors try to steal the clues. Amy and Dan are trying to get clues before the other teams.

      Amy and Dan both change a little bit throughout the book. I'd say Amy and Dan got a little braver after a little bit. They also got better at finding out the clues. Amy and Dan weren't very confident at the beginning of the book.

       It sort of reminds me of Sherlock Holmes because he is a detective and he also has to find a lot of clues.
