The 39 Clues #5: The Black Circle & Live Chat
To begin this next (5th) installment of The 39 Clues, Dan receives a telegram with a message only he and Amy and their Grandmother (who is dead!) would know. Who sent the telegram? Could there be someone alive who is on their side, someone Grandma put in place to help them? The only way to know the answer is to keep following the clues.
Dan and Amy ditch their nanny Nellie early on in this one. They are truly on their own. The stakes in this global treasure hunt are getting higher by the minute. The kids have almost been killed on more than one occasion. Under pressure, they make a very important, very game changing decision. When one of the clues turns out to be a list of places, the kids realize they need to take a calculated risk. The kids make a deal with adversary Hamilton Holt. As Amy says, “We can’t visit all these places, alone, and neighher can you. What if we were to split them up? You go one way, we’ll go the other, and we’ll share what we find?”
Remember Dan and Amy’s instructions at the beginning of the clue hunt? “Trust no one.” Well, maybe they shouldn’t trust who told them that either! Another fun read following the clues with the Cahills. I still can’t figure out the wesite though, or even think of solving anything myself. I guess I’m not a Cahill!
