Sacrifice Quotes in The Maze of Bones (The 39 Clues)

How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)

Quote #1

Dan loved collecting things. (2.3)

This is just a little bit of foreshadowing. Anyone in a book who spends as much time on their collection as Dan does is going to have to give up some, or all, of it someday.

Quote #2

"Each of you must sacrifice your share of the inheritance to participate." (2.106)

The hunt begins with a sacrifice. While it's not a big deal to many of the Cahills, who are multi-millionaires, it could change the lives of Amy and Dan. It shows how determined they are when they make this sacrifice anyway.

Quote #3

On Amy's orders, Dan was only supposed to pack one bag. (6.78)

Ah, we totally saw this coming. Dan has to leave his entire collection behind to go on the hunt. Not only that, but he offers to sell it. This is a major sacrifice that shows he puts his family, Amy, above material goods.
