39 clues

Since i learned more in ela i tryed to see if i can develop more of a sense of the book. So i created a summary:A old family member with a fortune so big that no one truly knows what the family owns dies and leaves a will. She is known as Grace Cahill. The surviving relatives, which makes up four different branches of the family, are challenged to find the true secret of the family in order to receive a huge amount of the estate. Anyone not wanting to participate can immediately claim two million dollars to walk away. Those that decide to stay will receive nothing unless they win the contest.
Most of the survivors are tempted and accept the millions. However, our two people Amy and Dan Cahill  (sort of plays the roll as a hero) go"s against the wishes of their  and and greedy aunt and decide to try to solve the puzzle. They felt like Grace wanted them to do this.Amy is something of an information geek, and Dan has pretty cool powers when it comes to numbers. Both of these special “gifts” are used during the book.
Amy and Dan are also orphans. Their parents died tragically and they were placed in the custody of their aunt. The aunt has always passed on the responsibility of their care and well-being (she doesn’t even live with them) in au pairs. Their latest au pair is a weird Goth girl named Nellie who isn’t much older than them but is old enough to drive. Common sense is still far in Nellie’s future. Bu later on in the book you will notice that everything that has happend so far is just the way Grace wanted it to.Rember nothing is unusual in the cahill world
