Amy and her brother Dan are awakened abruptly by the bellboy at the Egyptian hotel. He has arrived at their room to deliver yet another clue in their search for a most immense power. Amy and Dan are not the only ones in search of the 39 clues. Hamilton Holt is close behind, and he is not showing any signs of mercy. The siblings are soon off to Russia, channeling Rasputin for some much needed guidance. Then, Amy and Dan are uncovering Lucian secrets, and Irina Spasky is hot on their tail. Before long, they are uncovering clues from Tsar Nicholas and his brother, Constantine; these clues will prove to be instrumental and pragmatic. This is their most dangerous journey yet, as it brings the realization that the Madrigals are more powerful than the Lucians. The latest edition of the "39 Clues" series will not disappoint even the most skeptical readers. This book and the series could be especially enticing to reluctant readers. Reviewer: Summer Whiting
