Product Description
A hint from their parents’ past puts Amy and Dan on the trail of secrets their grandmother Grace would NEVER have wanted them to know. Awful memories begin to crowd in on Amy, just as her enemies circle closer. How far would she go to protect Dan? How much of a Cahill is she prepared to be? Perhaps Grace was right – some secrets are better left buried.

My kids love them (ages 10 and 12) . I always pre-order this series, and get them on or a day after release.
 Good but did not pull me in as much as earlier books. November 9, 2009

Don't get me wrong. I really enjoyed reading this book because it got me one step closer to finding out the ending and it also gave us some insight into the death of Amy and Dan's parents yaer before.
But... this seemed to try to stretch the use of other Cahil's as a central role and theme but I don't fell this one suceeded as well as the previuos books. This is still a series worth reading and I am enjoying following Amy and Dan till they reach the finish line.
An interesting turn in the series! November 9, 2009

This was a darn good read! This book took a bit of a different turn that the rest of the books in the series this far. The major turn was that this book really didn't have to do with a major Clue for Dan and Amy to solve, as in the other books, but there were some smaller ones for Amy and Dan to deal with. This book was character driven, and not Clue Driven.
We learn a lot about what happened to Amy and Dan's parents. What really happened that night of the fire, and who felt it was "their fault" that it happened. I like the fact that we are able to learn somethings about Amy and Dan's parents. We're they on The 39 Clue hunt as well? You'll have to read to find out.
In this book, Dan was likable character. In the past, Dan was kind of a jerk, but in this book, I really liked him and he made me laugh out loud. I was glad to see what Watson did with him.
We find out a lot more about Nellie. Is she who we were lead to believe? Nellie has the chance to be a fantastic character. If the character is followed through (and I hope the next author does) she has the chance to be a great character, and a real addition to the series.
Besides learning of Amy and Dan's parents, we learn more about Irina Spansky. We learn about her past, and why she turned into the KGB killer that she was. As a reader, we find out what heart breaks she had early in life. She's a *perfect* sympathetic character! I really liked how she turned out.
Along the way, Watson put Amy and Dan in so many dangerous situations, that the reader will be glued to the page to see how Amy and Dan get out of them. Watson's writing style will have the reader hooked to find out what happens to them. Kuddo's to Watson!
This is a great installment to the series. I had a ball reading it, and look forward to book 8. If you've read all of the books, then you'll want to read this one. If you haven't started the series, start with book one and en joy the ride. I know I am.
A little disjointed, but still a good book in a good series November 7, 2009

This is one of the weaker books in this series so far, I think. We find Dan and Amy on their way to Australia to find their next clue. All of the previous books had a very central historical character that their investigative work was about. This book lacks that, it mentions Mark Twain and Amelia Earhart, but they aren't the core that Ben Franklin or Mozart were to the other books.
What is heating up in this book is the confusion and shades of gray the other Cahills are walking in. We get to meet Ian and Natalie's mother, several other mainstays are also seen again. More alliances are forged and tested. And there is another (supposed) character death, though it seems a bit more final that the last one turned out to be. But who knows.
I still enjoyed it and breezed through it, but it felt a little discombobulated to me, without that central theme.
We also find out more about the night that Dan and Amy's parents died. And more about their past in general.
We find out their father's name was Arthur Trent--so why isn't their last name Trent?
