Dan and Amy Cahill are saddened when their grandmother dies, but when her will is read, they along with other members of their extended family are presented with an option - $1Million dollars each or a quest that could garner them a power beyond imagining. Seeking the adventure they start on the quest of 39 clues endangering themselves while trying to make their grandmother proud.

Interesting that this series is written by multiple authors. I'm curious to see how the story progresses over time with the different writers.
