O my gosh best book i ever read never gonna put it down, i hope dan and amy beat everyone they deserve to win!!
this book is great because a brother and sister have to search for their grandmother's will and their competing against their family members and other people.
My mom started reading these books and got SO into them, she bought the whole series. She tried to persuaid me into reading them, but I didn't have time, so I refused. A few months later, I decided to give the first one a try because I needed a book for my reading homework. At first I just read a couple chapters, but then it got really interesting. Before you know it, I'm through the first five books and I can't stop reading them. This first book is about fourteen-year-old Amy Cahill and her really cute eleven-year-old brother Dan Cahill. Their grandma Grace dies and they attend the funeral at her mansion with their crabby blue-haired legal-guardian Aunt Beatrice because their parents died in a fire. They know that everyone else is only there to inherit Grace's fortune, but they were the closest ones to Grace and they were there because they loved her so much. Amy, Dan, rich Ian and Natalie Kabra, the muscular Holts, Russian Irina Spatsky, and their Uncle Alistair Oh, popstar Jonah Wizard, and a few others are invited into another room where they are asked if they would take a million dollars each, OR if they would take part in a perilous clue hunt to find the large power of the family. Aunt Beatrice threatens them and tells them that if they don't take the cash, she will unown them and give them to social services. They take the clue hunt to agrivate Aunt Beatrice and start with the first clue. They start an alliance with their Uncle Alistair and look in the libraury and find a first edition Poor Richard's Almanac with their mother's writing in it. The mansion catches on fire and they have just enough time to save Grace's cat, Saladin. Alistair makes off with the book. Amy and Dan trick their "Au Paree" (babysitter) into taking them to France to find the next clue. I loved this book and I'm sure that you will, too. Especially if you love mystery, adventure, and know Amy and Dan's motto- "Trust no one," which is so true in the clue hunt.
