39 Clues Book 1 The Maze Of Bones

I would like to talk about a book series called the 39 Clues. It is about two people, Amy and Dan Cahill. It starts when Amy and Dan’s grandmother dies and in her will, offers them $1,000,000 or a clue.

Their snooty aunt who looks after the two orphans says no [not much of a surprise] however Amy and Dan accept the challenge and are taken by their fun-loving, thrill-seeking au pair to France.

However they are not the only ones in the competition – they have the rich influential cousins Ian and Natailie Kabra, the Genius uncle who is always criss-crossing sides, their not overly bright, but strong cousins the Holts, the pop star Jonah Wizard and the ruthless KGB assassin Irina Spasky.

It isn’t easy escaping catacombs, poison darts and not dying of boredom in muesems but they seem to manage.   In short, a bloody good read.  I’m up to Book 11 in the series.
