The 39 Clues

A new children's book series is taking the publishing world by storm! It's called The 39 Clues and is projected to have 10 books at its conclusion. The twist is, each book is written by a different children's / teen author! Rick Riordan, of Percy Jackson and the Olympians fame, wrote the first entry, titled The Maze of Bones, and the second book in the series, One False Note, was penned by Gordon Korman, another very prolific author! The third book in the series will be out March 3rd--The Sword Thief, by Peter Lerangis, who most notably wrote the Spy X series. There are several ways to get involved in this exciting new series! Besides reading the books, you can also collect the trading cards, and login to the website, www.the39clues.com, where there are many secrets and clues to uncover, and you can find out which branch of the Cahill family you belong to. The series is also slated to become movies at some point, so get reading now!
