For anyone who's been wondering what all the fuss was about, but was - like me - too lazy to check out the 39 Clues at the library or too cheap to buy it, here's your chance to get hooked.
This preview includes the first two chapters of the first book of the series. Grace is the filthy rich matriarch of the vast Cahill family - or she was, until she died. Now she has left a hand-selected few family members with a mysterious choice: take $1 million and walk away forever, or forsake the inheritance in return for a clue...
But what a clue. It leads to another and another and at the end of the 39 clues, Grace promises more power and treasure than any other human on Earth... should anyone manage to get that far. Her beloved grandchildren, 11-year old Dan and 14-year old Amy have a big choice to make... and seem destined to be pitted against some of the worst people the Cahill family has to offer.
Read these first two chapters and you'll want more!
