While there’s no disrespect toward adults in general, as I get older these examples of literary adults are something I notice. Too often (although there are, of course, exceptions) guy characters are snarky daredevils and never show any emotion except for anger (even if they’re young), so that scene was refreshing.Įvery adult except for Grace is either unintelligent and clueless or a malevolent force bent on hindering the main characters. Something random that grabbed my attention is how Dan cries after losing something that’s important to him. Fifth and sixth graders fascinated by codes and spies would especially enjoy The Maze of Bones.
although it’s geared toward a middle-grade audience, it’s still fun as an older teen. Riordan manages to capture realistic emotions that I remember feeling at their age.Įvery twist and turn is exciting and fast-paced. Amy and Dan are relatable and funny characters. Don’t get me wrong, this book is a fun ride and I genuinely enjoyed it.
