What would happen if you discovered that your family was one of the most powerful in human history? What if you were told that the source of the family's power was hidden around the world in the form of 39 clues? What if you were given a choice - take a million dollars and walk away ...or get the first clue and begin the search? At the reading of their grandmother's will, Dan and Amy Cahill are given this choice - and they take the clue. Immediately, they are caught in a dangerous race against their own family members. Word has gotten around that 14 year old Amy and 11 year old Dan were Grandma's favorites and they might have more information to solve the clues, so they are constantly being followed, deceived and sabotaged in their efforts. Join Amy and Dan as they begin the hunt for the 39 Clues in "Book One: The Maze of Bones". This fast moving adventure series will continue for a total of ten exhilarating books written by well-known authors, some of which include Margaret Peterson Haddix, Gordon Korman, Peter Lerangus, Jude Watson, Linda Sue Park and more. When the books are purchased new, they contain a set of clue cards that can be used with the online 39 Clues website. We do not have those cards and they are not necessary to enjoy the books, solve the clues and be a real detective.
Recommended for grades 4-7. YouTube has a movie trailer for The Maze of Bones that will work well with the book talk. The link for that video is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RVOyBH_bgw&list=PL3454A56279E0F073&index=1
