"This book is AMAZING!!! It takes place after the first series. Amy and Dan thought they won the clue hunt and that their lives would be normal. But they were wrong. Now 7 Cahills have been kidnapped worldwide. Amy and Dan have received a package that contains a cell phone with one text message. "We have hostages. Do what we want or they die". This book keeps you reading until the end. I recommend this book to people who love mystery/detective fiction stories."

Quotes

“An excellent start to an epic, new hunt.”
— Quill and Quire -
“[A] lean, easy-to-like thrill ride with guaranteed crowd-pleasing elements like secret societies, art heists, and heroes with unlimited cash and connections to fuel their around-the-world intrigue.”
— Booklist -
Action, adventure, and danger abound. And, of course, a cliff-hanger ending will leave readers stunned and wanting more. Without a doubt, if the first “39 Clues” series had kids racing to finish the books, this one is a must-purchase.”

" THIS BOOK WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my gods... From the moment i picked it up, i couldn't put it down. This review is going to be short because i need to read book 2! "
— Roma, 2/15/2014 -
" Ok, so I love these books. Seriously. I know the targeted audience is 11 - 14, but they're awesome! My only problem is how short they are. I need to read at least three in one go to actually feel satisfied! "
— Leah, 2/8/2014 -
" I know these are kids books, but they are easy to listen to and a lot of fun. I like the characters and the tidbits about history and culture that are thrown into each book! "

— Beatriz, 1/30/2014 -
" Another great installment to the 39 Clues series. Liked the idea of how Caravaggio's 'Medusa' was a map of the tunnels under the Colloseum. Atticus was a fun character to read about. This book was much more intense than most of the others since seven people's lives were on the line. "

— Cindy, 11/15/2013 -
" i really liked it!! its the same old cahills but in a whole new way=) "
— Amber, 9/21/2013 -
" I am LOVING this whole Cahills vs. Vesper's thing rather than Chaill vs. Cahill. It's very scary to think of so many family member's lives being on the line, but it's bringing all the family together! The book just has constant action and you never know what's going to happen! "
— Veronica, 8/23/2013 -

" My daughter wanted to start this series...she is 6 but a high level reader. Although some of the words are too much for her we read two chapters a night together to enhance her reading and this was a good story. We were both into it! We just started book 2...those pesky Vespers! :) "
— Latoya, 9/9/2012 -

— Shelby, 2/11/2012 -
" amy and dan cahill are older and darker in their clue-hunting, world-saving adventures. Great start to a new series! Plus, the adventure takes place in Italy--it totally took me back to Florence and Rome! "
— Margaret, 12/28/2011 -
" really intriguing. I'm so sad that Dan is turning darker, he was such a buoyant character in the 39 Clues. It makes sense that it would have an adverse effect on his personality, but it still makes me sad. "
— Brielle, 11/5/2011 -
" I enjoyed this book. I really like it how they left you hanging at the end. I'm curious to see what else they have to do. I know there are several more books to come in this next set of the series, so I can't wait! "
— Jennifer, 10/21/2011 -

— Natalie, 10/10/2011 -
" Amy and Dan continue with the hunt only now its not the 39 clues but what the crazy Vespers want to free their family and friends. It seems like Ian and Natalie are somehow involved? Looking forward to next installment "
— Shawn, 10/9/2011 -

" I'm obsessed with this series. Can't wait for the next one! "
— Shana, 9/28/2011 -
" The newest book in the 39 Clues series picks up right where the first series left off. the blend of intrigue, betrayal, and 14-year-old humor is perfect and right on where it should be. I can't wait to see how the Vespers are going to challenge the Cahill family in the end. "
— Steve, 9/27/2011 -
