Book #5 in teh 39 Clues series. These are easy reads for a quick reader like me. i can knock it out within an hour. It's a clever story and it keeps you guessing. Good young adult fiction.

The Black Circle... it wasn't actually that important in the story...

Again, my 9-year old likes these books so I'm reading them to discuss them with her. This particular author takes us to Russia and the realm of Rasputin and the Romanov's. Fun read.

Fascinating learning about the history behind these

Really enjoyed this one. Was surprised they teamed up with the holts in this one but I like that they keep working with the other cahills. It looks like their building up the importance of the branches working together or at least the kids working together. I hope that Alistair comes back in the next one. This one was exciting too and loved the Russian clue hunt and info about the Lucians. I hope Nellie isn’t doing anything shady she’s such a good character
