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.

my favrite part is when they stoll the icream truck

I couldn't get into this series. My school has a bunch of these and I wanted to like it. :(

My school has all of this series.

The series has 39 books.

this is a really good book and the next books are also really good

Very good book! First in a long time I could find that is worth reading!! Can't wait to read the rest of the series!😋

very nice book to start off a series

A mystery book!!!!!!!! A must read!!!

This book is one of my favorite books. The plot is exciting and adventurous and I love the way that author describe the characters' mood, actions and personalities. In this book, anything could happen, and you would never know what is going to happen next.

I only found out about this book 2 years ago because I really liked Rick Riordan's books and tried to find more that he wrote. I think this is a very good book, but there are around 5 series that have the same characters give or take a few and by the beginning of the 3rd series I started to get bored because to me it was slightly monotonous. I think if you want to read this read it until the end of the second series.
