Imagine your favorite grandma passes away. In her will, she offers you either one million dollars...or a clue to a treasure. What would you do? This is the first in a 10 book series that follows Amy and her brother Dan Cahill around the world in search of 39 clues that will lead to the secret of the Cahill family. There is something for both boys and girls in these action-packed books. Amy Cahill, age 14, is a very smart, but very shy girl who would rather curl up with a good book than be around people. Amy's younger brother Dan, 11, is something of a troublemaker, but is a genius at math and cracking codes. Girls will like how Amy uses books and research to figure out clues, and boys will like how Dan uses cool gadgets to evade their enemies. It's like the movie National Treasure...but instead of a grown-up chasing clues around the country, while being chased by bad guys, it's Amy and Dan. They are accompanied by a sort of grown-up, to buy plane tickets and stuff like that, but she's too busy listening to her iPod to keep a close eye on them. Level 4.3 Points 7
