The Maze of Bones

Amy and Dan arrive in Paris after a long and uncomfortable flight during which Amy read multiple books about Franklin and Paris. Dan and Amy are pleasantly surprised when Nellie, whose mother was French, speaks French fluently. At the end of the airport hallway, they see a crowd gathered around someone: Jonah Wizard. Amy hates crowds and feels unkempt after the flight. Jonah plays comfortably to the crowd but notices Amy and Dan in the distance. He brings them over and singles them out, causing Amy to feel frozen and embarrassed.

In the limo, Nellie mentions that she likes Jonah’s album, but he tells her to be quiet, claiming he only talks to Cahills. He describes how he owns Paris, with a successful art gallery, art business, and a new French pop-up children’s book coming out. He claims to be more important than Ben Franklin himself and thinks winning this prize will enhance his fame. Amy snaps and defends Franklin’s historical importance. Jonah offers to work with the siblings and give them a cut of the winnings. Amy and Dan are skeptical since Alistair double-crossed them. Jonah disparages Alistair, claiming he lost his fortune on bad investments and just wants to rehabilitate his image.
