Amy and Dan Cahill’s grandmother Grace has just passed away and has left behind a game for all her relatives. The Cahill family is the most powerful family in history and it is a chase to see who can find out all the power that the family holds. Amy and Dan decide to partake in the journey instead of taking the two million dollars offered to them. Outrunning their cunning and mischievous relatives who will do anything to eliminate their biggest threat, Amy and Dan Cahill put aside their differences and begin the hunt for the next 38 clues that will lead them to all the family secrets. Can Amy and Dan figure out the first clue and beat their relatives to the next one all while staying out of danger?
This is the first in a series of ten books that can be found in the children’s department. Since I am back in school my time for pleasure reading has diminished quite a bit and when the last book in this series came out I decided it might be fun and an easy read to read this book. I must say I was not disappointed. Rick Riordan, the same author of the series Percy Jackson and the Olympians, wrote an enjoyable and pleasant read even for an adult like me. It has suspense, mystery and things about history that I did not realize or learn in school. I picked up the second book and I cannot wait to enjoy it. In other words, if you want a fun yet easy read or want your kids to learn and like a book, try The 39 Clues series. I am positive you won’t be disappointed.
