Amy and Dan are invited, by golden invitation, to the reading of their beloved Grandma Grace's will. Instead of inheriting her mansion and wealth, they are asked to choose between a million dollar check and the chance to play a game that could make them the most powerful people in history. Of course they choose the game, along with 12 other family members who will do anything to win. Each book in this series is written by a different author. Maze of Bones is followed by One False Note by popular author Gordon Korman.

Moonshot: The Flight of Apollo 11
Brian Floca (2009), 48 pages
Illustrated by Brian Floca
Audience: 1st Grade - 4th Grade
The date is July 16, 1969. Responding to President John F. Kennedy's challenge to put a man on the moon before the decade is out, NASA has been preparing for this day. Three astronauts, Armstrong, Collins and Aldrin, have been preparing, too. Each step is rousingly described as the three men strap into the tiny space module, through Armstrong's 'giant leap,' to splash-down and the men's safe return to their families. This story of the United States' first flight to the moon is poetically told.
