The Cahill family has a secret. For five hundred years, they have
guarded the 39 Clues - thirty-nine ingredients in a serum that transforms
whomever takes it into the most powerful person on earth.
If the serum got into the wrong hands, the disaster would rock
the world. So certain Cahills have always made it their mission
to keep the serum safe, buried, locked away. Until now.
Thirteen-year-old Dan Cahill and his older sister, Amy, are the latest
guardians of the Clues. They think they've done everything
right, but a tiny mistake leads to catastrophe. The serum is missing
and Dan and Amy have to get it back and stop who stole it . .
. before it's game over. For everyone.
Began: about Dec 28, 2013 Finished: Jan 13, 2014 First book of 2014!
I enjoyed this book. I do wish there was more of the search-plot (for lack of better description) in this book, but then this opening book set up the next clues and journey that the group has to go on. That's how the other "first" books of the series were, of course. It seemed to end suddenly and I was stunned, listening to it, not realizing the book was coming to an end.
I'm looking forward to continuing this series! :-)
