Mysterious and thrilling

My nephews have been living with me since the start of the school year and we`ve listened to so many books together. We`ve really enjoyed similar books like Stanek`s amazing Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches. This is the first one we`ve read by Riordan and we all liked it. It has a similar mysterious and thrilling feel to it as Stanek`s books but more of a mystery than a fantasy.

Great story

I enjoyed the story, Riordan's writing style is unmatched. My only qualm is that that main characters are children, though honestly, what did I expect? The historical facts are a highlight for me. The real world Di Vinci code-esque conspiracy with elements of scavenger hunt, ties it all together.

I LOVED IT!

I LOVED IT !! It was narrated perfectly !😀👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻, but what I loved the most was the way it switched between the two characters . I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE THAT WANTS TO BE ABLE TO GET THE SAME EXPERIENCE OF AWESOMENESS!!

Amazing!!

One of the best books I have ever listen to it is so so so so good I can’t wait to find out what happens next!! One of the best books ever!!

GREAT version!!

loved this! you have to give this a try. love these books. listening to them is a great experience

Fun Alternative

I think this is a fun alternative to many of things kids are doing today. The story includes a lot of history. It is a combination of National Treasure and the Davinci Code for kids. The combination of the website gives the kids a more intelligent alternative to webkinz. After listening to this book, I purchased two copies for my children ages 10 & 13. I think this will be fun to follow as additional books come out and the clues continue.

Very suspenseful for my 8 year old

Would you listen to The 39 Clues, Book 1 again? Why?

When the mansion was burnt

Have you listened to any of David Pittu’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

this was our first

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Dan makes us laugh

Awesome book

I liked that the cahills were the biggest family in the world and they were really powerful it is awesome

Amy and Dan are the coolest

What did you love best about The 39 Clues, Book 1?

Amy and Dan are admirable, yet believable.

Any additional comments?

I liked book 1 and I will probably add the rest to my wish list. Though, If they are only going to solve 1 clue per book, I don't know if I will have the patience to listen to all of them. Amy and Dan need to learn not to talk so loudly, they also need to stop letting their relatives sneak up on them so easily.

Cool😄

The 39 clues are the best book ever. I love this book! It was awesome.😄😎
