The 39 Clues Series

The 39 Clues series is very adventurous and has some action in it. It is about two kids named Amy and Dan whose grandma (named Grace) dies of old age. At her funeral all of her relatives come and gather around . The host shows them a video their grandma made. In the video she tells them that she has hid 39 clues all over the world and says if you find all 39 clues you will be the most powerful person in the world.You could do that or instead take one million dollars and be done with it.

Alcatraz Versus The Evil Librarians (guest post by Logan)

Alcatraz Versus The Evil Librarians is the first book in a series of four. It is about a boy who is an orphan and he has a special talent (like another series I wrote about) for braking everything! On his 13th birthday his grandpa comes and says that he needs Alcatraz to help him stop the evil librarians that are trying to take over the world.

The 4th book in the series ends in kind of a cliffhanger. The reason for that is because the author wasn't getting enough money for it and didn't have enough money to write another one.

Personal Opinion
I like this series because it is action packed. I really liked the part with monsters, and the battle at the end was kind of intense. I thought that Alcatraz and his grandpa were funny. I did not like that all the chapters ended in cliffhangers.

Things moms would like to know

1. There is no swearing
2. Some parts are a little creepy in the second book  
3. recommended for 8+

*Note from Logan's mom
Logan loved this book so much that he begged me to read it too. It had a bit of an Harry Potter feel to it and I actually enjoyed it. I would recommend  it to any adults that like to read a YA book now and then.
