About this ebook

Tensions run high in the explosive 8th book of 39 Clues, the #1 New York Times bestselling series.

One belief has sustained fourteen-year-old Amy Cahill and her younger brother, Dan, on their hunt for the 39 Clues: They are the good guys. But then a shocking discovery about their parents shatters everything Amy and Dan think they know, dividing the two siblings for the first time ever. When Dan disappears in a country of more than a billion people, Amy has to make a terrible choice - find the next Clue . . . or find her younger brother.

Ratings and reviews

I LOVED this book. It was SOOOO intense. Every moment, I was literally on the edge of my seat. Although China may not be the most exotic country in the world there is to visit, Korman made it seem like it. I had a lot of fun reading this book. If you are a fan of the 39 Clues series, and did not like the first one in the series he wrote (One False Note, Book 2) I GUARANTEE IT! (just like the informercials) that you will enjoy this book.

This entire series is OK but very formulaic as you continue on.

The 39 Clues first series is my most favorite popular book. :-)
