rick riordan starts off the bestselling '39 clues series' with the heart-pounding 'one false note'. It's a really interesting book, the only downside is it is a little confusing, for it is set in a lot of different places, but great book otherwise.

I like the way there is a conflict/problem that doesn’t stand out. It also tells some things that actually happened. But I don’t recommend this book if you don’t like too much violence. You might want to skip those parts. There is only a few violence. But still enjoy!
Two siblings, Amy and Dan, at the death of their beloved Grandmother, find themselves faced with a choice. Continue their normal life with and inheritance of one million dollars, or race against time to find the thirty-nine clues and the reward at the end. Will Amy and Dan be able to get the first of the clues? Or will they give up in despair? This book had so many twists and turns that I couldn't put it down, and the puzzles and clues were interesting and eduational.
This is the first book in an incredible series about two siblings who enter a dangerous life or death clue hunt that they feel that there Grandmother was preparing them for! They have to travel around the world in search of these clues that leads to power beyond comprehension before it gets in the wrong hands of the other teams AKA their family members!
I love this book,it's my new favorite series!It's full of action adventure and mystery!It's a story about two siblings who find out that they not part of one of the most effective and powerful families in the world.When there Grandmother dies she has in her will that each of her closest family members can include themselves in a dangerous hunt for 39 clues that will lead them to the greatest prize imaginable.
I love this book Dan and Amy’s grandma dies and what she left her family was a hunt for the 39 clues now they travel all over the world to find them but it’s dangerous and Dan and Amy are orphans so the budget is tight join them on this epic quest and read the 39 clues.
I was in the mood to start a new series and thought I’d give this a try. It started off a little slow, then the game started and it got more interesting and I couldn’t put it down.
Same for me

You have a choice 1,0000 dollars or the first clue to your familys secret. If your Dan and Amy Cahill you choose the first clue. I love books that are sad and mysterious. And this book fits my loves. I give it 5 stars.
