Another delightful installation in a book series that can easily be described as "National Treasure for kids." Our protagonists are Amy and Dan, two members of the Cahill family, a clan supposedly so connected that nearly every important historical figure in the world is a member. Which, given how far-reaching the members are, seems like it should logically include EVERYONE on Earth by now, but I digress.

The clan is on a hunt for the secret of the Cahill inheritance, and they are competing against one another with all their tricks. Some of which could prove deadly. This story focuses on Mozart and his equally-talented (but unsung) sister, and drives home how very many people are fighting against Amy and Dan, and how deep the legend of the Cahills goes.

Good fun. No, not historically accurate in its entirety, but this book could spark your young reader to check out some other books on Mozart. Or perhaps just read more of the 39 Clues. Really, it's the reading that's important, and this will get them turning pages!

I started reading this series so that I could discuss the books with my son, but found that they are actually very fun. You can get through one in a night or two, and there are some surprising twists and turns. One of the better children's series I've come across.

This series isn't the most profound or memorable, but the books are easy to read and hold my interest enough for the 150 or so pages. This is no exception lol it was a fine book. I feel like I'm just trying to get to book 10 to get to the Vespers because I remember that part being a lot of fun.

Once again 39 Clues didn't disappoint. Gordon Korman did a great job of staying true to the characters and continuing the story. I wasn't sure how it was going to work with different authors writing the stories, but so far I'm not disappointed. I look forward to keeping up with this series.

I didn't like Gordon Korman's writing style as much as Rick Riordan's. AND I didn't find the historical bits as integrated or in depth as Maze of Bones, but I would still call this was a solid sequel.
