SYNOPSIS: Dan and Amy Cahill's lives are changed forever when their parents die. Then their grandmother dies and sends them on a quest to find 39 clues that will change the world. However, they are not the only ones on the quest, and their competitors are ruthless.
AUNT SHARON'S TAKE: We have only made it through book 9 of this series, but so far, my kids and I have enjoyed the series. What kid wouldn't like to pretend they are on a hunt for massive power? Another thing I loved is that each book takes them to another location where they learn about different cultures and historical figures. Plus, it gets them interested in reading. For me it's a win/win situation. We have been listening to the audiobooks, but in paper format, they are a pretty easy read (I would say older grade schoolers should have no problems with it). However, there is some espionage-type violence, so that is one thing to be aware of. I think this would be a good series to get preteens and older children excited about reading.
