Love the stuff that challenges her mind!

Purchased as a gift for my 11 y.o. daughter. She loved it! Has all of the other books in the series, and can't wait for the next!

Dan and Amy just barely escaped from a deadly fire that killed their adversary, who in a strange turn of events died saving their lives. Now, they're on the run again trying to escape from everyone while chasing another clue in South Africa. They're on a mission to research Shaka Zulu and unravel the man from the myth, plus discover his final resting place. Once again, the search leads them into the hands of Grace's old friends, who offer advice and more puzzles to unravel. Will they find the next clue before their opposition finds them? The seventh book in the addicting action-adventure series, THE VIPER'S NEST uncovers a huge secret that raises additional questions. I can't wait to read about what happens to Amy and Dan next.

When's the next book due out?

My husband and I use this series as a read-aloud at night, and it keeps getting more exciting. I bought this because I couldn't stand the suspense of waiting for it to come into the library! I wish there were more "family line" plot elements in this book... good story, though, while waiting for more of the unveiling! Who is Nellie Gomez?????

Another Great One

My kids and I have enjoyed this series of books. We have enjoyed reading about Amy and Dan and their nanny. We have had a lot of fun predicting where we think they will go next, who might die next, what might happen next. This book left us guessing even more. We are still unsure of Nellie (the nanny) and what she really is and who she really is in this series. I like that Amy and Dan show many character traits I'd like my children to emulate. They take care of each other, they trust each other, and they have tenacity to stick through and solve a problem. Because each book is about a different person or place or a different person in a different place we have done further research on people such as Mozart and Australia and so on. In this book they are on the road again traveling. And as they race to solve puzzles and find answers they meet some of Grace's friends and the end just adds to the mystery. Fascinating. It will help if you read all the books in order. Enjoy

Another Great Installment

Dan and Amy travel from Indonesia to Pretoria, South Africa and learn all about Shaka Zulu and Winston Churchill in this the seventh adventure in the 39 Clues series. They are on the run from the evil Isabel Kabra and the evil but inept Eisenhower Holt. They have encounters with Alastair Oh and still don't really know whose side he is on. They also meet some friends of Grace and learn what family branch they are part of. The book was filled with exciting adventures and lots of dangerous situations.
