Minutes before she died Grace Cahill changed her will,
leaving her descendants an impossible decision: "You have a
choice - one million dollars or a clue."
Grace is the last matriarch of the Cahills, the world's most
powerful family. Everyone from Napoleon to Houdini is
related to the Cahills, yet the source of the family power
is lost. 39 clues hidden around the world will reveal the
family's secret, but no one has been able to assemble them.
Now the clues race is on, and young Amy and Dan must decide
what's important: hunting clues or uncovering what REALLY
happened to their parents.
The 39 Clues is Scholastic's groundbreaking new series,
spanning 10 adrenaline-charged books, 350 trading cards, and
an online game where readers play a part in the story and
compete for over $100,000 in prizes.
The 39 Clues books set the story, and the cards, website and
game allow kids to participate in it. Kids visit the website
- the39clues.com - and discover they are lost members of the
Cahill family. They set up online accounts where they can
compete against other kids and against Cahill characters to
find all 39 clues. Through the website, kids can track their
points and clues, manage their card collections, dig through
the Cahill archives for secrets, and "travel" the world to
collect Cahill artifacts, interview characters, and hunt
down clues. Collecting cards helps: Each card is a piece of
evidence containing information on a Cahill, a clue, or a
family secret.
Every kid is a winner - we'll give away prizes through the
books, the website and the cards, including a grand prize of
$10,000!
