Has any one read them? It's a series of ten books, each one written by a different author. It starts with The Maze of Bones by Rick Riordan, followed by One False Note and The Sword Theif The forth one is coming out in May. I thought they were really good. Any one else?

Never heard of them. What are they about? I've read a couple of series where each book is written by a different author. Most of the time, I don't like that. To switch from one writing style when trying to follow the same storyline is confusing. If it's a few authors working together to create one book/series though, that can be good.

The style didn't actually change that much, which sort of suprised me. It's a story about siblings Amy, 14, and Dan(iel), 11. Their grandmother dies, and her will is a challenge to find the 39 clues, with a chance to change the world forever as the prize. But some of their reletives, the other Cahills, (who you'll find is almost everyone throughout the last 500 years of history) want to win to, and some will stop at nothing. Very exciting and entertaining, I really liked them.
