Many, many
students have enjoyed this series by Cassandra Claire. I had to find out what
they were raving about so I read Book #1 City
of Bones.
Fifteen-year-old
Clary Fray and her mother Jocelyn live in New York City on the fifth floor of a
five-story apartment without an elevator.
After a disturbing night out at a club called Pandemonium with her best
friend since early childhood named Simon, Clary really feels the need to talk
with her mom about baffling events she saw at the club. But her mother is instead packing up their
belongings to make a hasty trip to the country.
Clary argues with her mom and storms out. That is the last time she sees her mom as her
mother goes missing. The apartment is in
shambles; Clary wonders if her mom has been killed or kidnapped. Then Clary is attacked by a demon!
This series
is filled with action! Why could only Clary see the two men and the one woman
at the Pandemonium Club while Simon couldn’t? Does she have “the sight?” What
does she do when she discovers a whole group of “people” she never knew
existed--shadow hunters, demons, fairies, werewolves, and vampires?
Has Clary’s
mom protected her for years? Is her mother more than an artist? And what about
Luke, her mother’s friend? Is he really minding a bookstore or does he also
have another “hidden” past?
Readers of
fantasy should continue to enjoy all the books in this series.
