Customer Reviews

Great potential

Grace Cahill becomes a victim of cancer, leaving her two favorite grandchildren to find themselves. The children, Amy and Dan, have a choice of taking a million dollars and a nasty old curmudgeon aunt or becoming part of something great that will change the nature of the world. This book kicks off a great adventure filled with many dangers and impossible clues. We get to go along and kibit. I came late to this series. It looks like each book’s thought sticks to a pre-described formula brings the strengths and accents of individual authors. I was a little annoyed at the overdescriptions of historic characters such as Ben Franklin. Then I realized that it is a sneaky way to slip a little history into a fun mystery. It sort of follows the formula of “Sophie’s World” by Jostein Gaarder. Or is it more along the lines of “A Series of Unfortunate Events”? The story and the twists and turns, even though hardly original, are pretty sophisticated for a youth series. However, leaving cliffhangers at the expense of a temporary wrap-up is also quite annoying. Yes, there are games, puzzles, and whatnot being merchandized, but they are held together by the better-than-average writing of the series.
