Overview

Bestselling author Patrick Carman sends Dan and Amy on a twisting thrill ride adventure in the highly anticipated Book Five of the 39 Clues series. WITH REINFORCED BINDING

INCOMING! Amy and Dan have been found UNHARMED! But perhaps not for long - the ruthless Irina Spasky is right on their tail. And WHAT are those crazy kids doing poking their noses into Lucian secrets?!? Are they TRYING to get themselves killed?

The 39 Clues Book 5 takes Dan and Amy on their most dangerous quest yet, one that brings them face to face with the only force capable of scaring the vicious Lucians: the Madrigals.

  • The 39 Clues Series

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
When we last left Amy and Dan, the youthful Cahill sleuths were in Egypt, tracking down yet another of the 39 Clues. In this episode, our likable pursuers seem likely to become the pursued. The fifth installment of this Favorite Series book contains six clue cards!
Children's Literature
Amy and her brother Dan are awakened abruptly by the bellboy at the Egyptian hotel. He has arrived at their room to deliver yet another clue in their search for a most immense power. Amy and Dan are not the only ones in search of the 39 clues. Hamilton Holt is close behind, and he is not showing any signs of mercy. The siblings are soon off to Russia, channeling Rasputin for some much needed guidance. Then, Amy and Dan are uncovering Lucian secrets, and Irina Spasky is hot on their tail. Before long, they are uncovering clues from Tsar Nicholas and his brother, Constantine; these clues will prove to be instrumental and pragmatic. This is their most dangerous journey yet, as it brings the realization that the Madrigals are more powerful than the Lucians. The latest edition of the "39 Clues" series will not disappoint even the most skeptical readers. This book and the series could be especially enticing to reluctant readers. Reviewer: Summer Whiting
School Library Journal
Gr 4–7—Siblings Amy and Dan Cahill continue their quest for clues to the family's source of power with non-stop action and adventure that takes them to Volograd, Russia, in this episode by Patrick Carman (Scholastic, 2009). They chase down riddles left to them by "NNR" in one of the more complex books of the series. Incorporated within this story are famous landmarks centering on historical icons in Russian history, such as Rasputin. In their quest, they uncover a treasure stolen by the Nazis and the truth behind the murder of the last Russian royal family. The Madrigals play an integral role among the deceptions and espionage. David Pittu does an admirable job of narrating, giving each character a distinctive voice; listeners may find the chronic raspy quality of Dan's voice wearing by the end of the story. The exaggerated voicing of the bonus material at the end of the story is reminiscent of old time radio shows.—Tina Hudak, St. Albans School, Washington, DC

    Remarkable

    If you are a history teacher and a language arts teacher here is the book for you. This book would be very good for your children in your class to read and it's not a drabby story, the kids will really get into reading it. Just try it and you might like it yourself.

    My kids love these books. They are wonderful books...I sneaked a little peek myself! Now I'm addicted to them also. I got this book for my two boys along with some other great "boy" books: Nose Pickin' and Pumpkin Guts. All of these books are fantastic!

    AWESOME BOOK!:-) PLUS BOOK 6 SECRETS!!

    For all fans, book 6 is titled In Too Deep, and is written by Jude Watson. It will be released on November 3rd 2009. The only other known facts besides the title, author and the release date are that the cover will be light blue in color, and that the book will have 176 pages. Amy & Dan will find out some of their mother's scret's, and (just a guess) but I think that it may have to do with water, according to the title. Check bsck soon to find out more secrets!
    P.S. If you log onto www.the39clues.com now, there is a limited-time Jude Watson video, and she reads an exerpt from book 4.

    Not to be mean, but The 39 Clues series is starting to become
    a little bit boring. It does not really keep me in suspense -.-
