About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is ready for a fast paced mystery that makes history feel like a high stakes game of hide and seek. If your reader enjoys logic puzzles or needs a story that emphasizes the importance of sibling cooperation over rivalry, this second installment of the 39 Clues series is an ideal pick. Amy and Dan Cahill are orphaned siblings traveling the globe to solve a centuries old family mystery, and this chapter takes them through the musical history of Vienna and Venice. The story centers on the bond between cautious Amy and impulsive Dan as they outmaneuver dangerous relatives. While the action is intense, including high speed chases and break-ins, the heart of the book is about resilience and using your unique strengths to solve problems. It is a perfect choice for middle grade readers who crave independence and adventure but benefit from seeing a realistic, supportive sibling relationship modeled on the page.
