GENRE: Mystery, Adventure
HONORS: None
known
REVIEW: After a
last minute change before her death, at the reading of her will Grace Cahill
gives her family two options: walk away with a million dollars, or take the
first of 39 clues that will lead to something of great power. Amy and Dan were
orphans who lived in the care of their Aunt Beatrice, but were very close with
Grace and considered themselves her favorites. Grace had always told Amy that
she would go on great adventures and accomplish great things. Could this be the
adventure Grace had in mind?
OPINION: I had
heard much criticism that this series is just a big marketing scheme, and while
I can see where they are coming from, I still found the book and story highly
entertaining and am eager to finish the rest of the series.
IDEAS: This book
is just asking for some sort of 39 Clues event/program that involves a
scavenger hunt for the tween and teen attendees. The book would also fit well
in a mystery/adventure display.
