The first book in the #1 bestselling phenomenon sends readers around the world on the hunt for the 39 Clues!

Minutes before she died Grace Cahill changed her will, leaving her decendants an impossible decision: "You have a choice - one million dollars or a clue."

Grace is the last matriarch of the Cahills, the world's most powerful family. Everyone from Napoleon to Houdini is related to the Cahills, yet the source of the family power is lost. 39 Clues hidden around the world will reveal the family's secret, but no one has been able to assemble them. Now the clues race is on, and young Amy and Dan must decide what's important: hunting clues or uncovering what REALLY happened to their parents.

rick riordan starts off the bestselling '39 clues series' with the heart-pounding 'one false note'. It's a really interesting book, the only downside is it is a little confusing, for it is set in a lot of different places, but great book otherwise.

I like the way there is a conflict/problem that doesn’t stand out. It also tells some things that actually happened. But I don’t recommend this book if you don’t like too much violence. You might want to skip those parts. There is only a few violence. But still enjoy!

Two siblings, Amy and Dan, at the death of their beloved Grandmother, find themselves faced with a choice. Continue their normal life with and inheritance of one million dollars, or race against time to find the thirty-nine clues and the reward at the end. Will Amy and Dan be able to get the first of the clues? Or will they give up in despair? This book had so many twists and turns that I couldn't put it down, and the puzzles and clues were interesting and eduational.

I love this book Dan and Amy’s grandma dies and what she left her family was a hunt for the 39 clues now they travel all over the world to find them but it’s dangerous and Dan and Amy are orphans so the budget is tight join them on this epic quest and read the 39 clues.

I was in the mood to start a new series and thought I’d give this a try. It started off a little slow, then the game started and it got more interesting and I couldn’t put it down.
