This has good nostalgia factor and makes me realize I really don't remember the plot of this book as much as I thought I did. Really quick and fun read though and it holds up really well to the original book.

I have never read the 39 Clues books before but when we got the first graphic novel adaptation in at our library, I gave it a whirl. This seems like the start of a fun adventure series that seems perfect for the graphic format. For me, the story had me rolling my eyes a bit (every stop/clue brought another bad guy looking over our MCs’ shoulders), but I think the target audience will eat this up and enjoy the good-vs-evil romp that it is.
