Characters

Main article: List of The 39 Clues characters

• Amy Cahill and Dan Cahill are the series' protagonists. Grandchildren of Grace Cahill, they became orphans when their parents died in a fire seven years before the events of the first novel. Since then, they have been in the care of their great-aunt Beatrice, before traveling to find the 39 Clues. They both have jade-green eyes, but Amy has reddish-brown hair, while Dan's is a dark blonde; Dan likes to joke around, while Amy is more introverted. However, the cutthroat atmosphere of the hunt causes Dan to become more cynical, a development that plays a larger role in Cahills vs. Vespers. At first, the siblings do not know to which branch they belong. The Viper's Nest reveals that Amy and Dan are part of an unknown fifth branch, the Madrigals, who aim to unite the Cahill family.
• Grace Cahill is the Cahill matriarch, Amy's and Dan's grandmother, and leader of the Madrigal branch. She has traveled all over the world and settled in Attleboro, Massachusetts. The Maze of Bones begins with her death and her last minute change to her will.
• Nellie Gomez is the Cahills' au pair. She can fly a plane, drive many types of cars, and speak over ten different languages. Amy and Dan persuade her to become their guardian on the hunt for the 39 Clues, unknowingly at first, but she later decides to help the children. She is of Mexican and French descent.
• William McIntyre is Grace Cahill's mysterious lawyer, advisor, and "closest confidant for half of her life." In the first book, he advises Cahill siblings to "trust no one" and "beware the Madrigals." He helps an ominous character, the Man In Black, who follows the Cahills on the hunt and whom Storm Warning reveals is Fiske Cahill, Amy and Dan's great-uncle.

Series One: The 39 Clues

The 39 Clues books and card packs as of August 2010.

The novels revolve around Amy and Dan Cahill, two orphans who, upon their grandmother's death, discover that they are members of the Cahill family, whose members have shaped the history of their world. The ancestors of the Cahill family are Gideon and Olivia Cahill, whose children created the branches of the family. The branches constantly compete against each other in a hunt for the 39 Clues, ingredients to a serum, the source of the family's power. Amy and Dan, along with their au pair Nellie, enter the hunt for the Clues and become embroiled in the conflict between the Cahill branches. As Amy and Dan participate in the hunt, they unearth secrets about their Cahill ancestors, their parents, and the Madrigals, a mysterious organization. Each book chronicles one location Amy, Dan, and Nellie travel to and focuses on one historical character to which a Clue is linked. The main narrative focuses on Amy and Dan's pursuit of the Clues while evading the sabotage of their competitors, who are Cahills from other branches. The books also contain the perspectives of the other Cahills as their view of Amy and Dan changes. The environment Riordan and the other authors have created is an alternative reality in which influential historical figures are all part of a single family. The world of The 39 Clues exists in parallel with the real world; other than the Cahills, no one knows the Cahills exist or how much they have shaped the world.

Soon after, Dan and Amy get picked up by the school bus, which is attacked by 3 Vespers agents who tried to kidnap both of them, but fail due to the sibling's counterattack. Right after the accident, Detective Corelli arrives and takes them home, advising them to get themselves bodyguards. At the mansion, McIntyre told them that Cahills all over the world have been kidnapped, and the Cahills then get a message from Vesper One telling them to go to Florence, Italy by tomorrow morning or one of the hostages dies.

Sinead, McIntyre and Ian (who has arrived from London) remain in the Cahill Command Center to find more information about the Vespers and the possible whereabouts of the Cahill hostages, while Dan and Amy go to Florence, where they get a message saying for them to steal the Caravaggio's "Medusa" located in the Uffizi gallery. They later they met up with Jonah Wizard and Hamilton Holt who help them steal the picture, but when they give the painting to the Vespers, it is found to be a fake and Vesper One sends them a video of Nellie getting shot in the shoulder.

Amy, Dan, Hamilton and Jonah then discover that the real painting was taken by a Mud Angel named Tobin decades ago. They manage to steal the painting from him but on the escape, they lose the chargers for the DeOssie phone. Ian then goes out to look for info on the phone and runs into Evan, who immediately recognizes it. Ian then tells Evan about the Cahills and invites him to join the Command Center.

Upon further investigation of the painting, the siblings (Jonah and Hamilton have left) find Latin words on the back of the painting, prompting Dan to ask his friend, Atticus for help. Atticus then tells Dan to come to the Colosseum, where Dan finds out that the snakes in Caravaggio's Medusa is a map of the Colosseum, with the one spot where two snakes bite each other as the "X". In the tunnels, they found DaVinci's Medusa shield, which Caravaggio based his picture on, and the original copy of a book by Marco Polo called Il Millione (The Million), which the Vespers were looking for. After an argument with the Rosenblooms, the siblings steal the book and fled.

Meanwhile, Jonah, Hamilton, Ian and Sinead find the DeOssie factory and get in easily. After searching the whole factory, they don't find the hostages but only the chargers. On the way out, Hamilton triggers a trap by shaking a vending machine, which blows up the entire DeOssie factory.

At the circus, the painting gets stolen by an acrobat working for Vesper One right before the stadium has a blackout. As everyone left the building, Dan and Amy saw the acrobat dying on the sidewalk. After asking her who she worked for, she replied: "Bruciato", or burned, meaning Vesper One has a burned arm. After coming outside, they receive another text message from Vesper One, who now tells them to go to Lucerne, Switzerland .

Book 2: A King's Ransom

In the beginning of the book, Amy and Dan are wandering in Santa Maria Novella train station in Florence when they come across a girl named Vanessa Mallory, who is actually Cheyenne Wyoming in disguise and use her as a distraction in order to get into the train for Lucerne, Switzerland where Vesper One is sending them for their next mission: find the de Virga map. Once they're on the train, they realized that they were tricked, and an Interpol agent named Milos Vanek, tried to hunt them down. But, they manage to escape the train by hiding inside other people's luggage bags, into Enderberg.

Their first shot to find the map is the auction house in Lucerne, and they have to be disguised as rich people to succeed. Inside the house, they sneak in to the office and get the de Virga Map archives written in German. Ian translates it, revealing that these 4 people, Otto Hummer the professor, Jane Sperling the socialite, Marcel Maubert the art dealer, and Reginald Tawnley the person who owned a private library, have something to do with the map. Unfortunately, the report about Amy and Dan's criminal heists have reached the auction house, and they have to sneak out by creating diversions.

Then Sinead and Evan shares the information they have gathered of the four listed people. Maubert and Tawnley died in war, Hummel worked in the Nazi party, and Jane is a Jew who is thought to have tried to protect the de Virga map, which was owned by a Jewish family.

Meanwhile, Dan is making progress of gathering ingredients to create the Master Serum, which seems to be a backup if anything goes not according to plan. Amy has pieced all the informations she and the center gathered, and concludes that they have to search Neuschwanstein Castle.

After calling for backup, Jonah and Hamilton both come to Munich on their way to the castle but they accidentally pick up Cheyenne Wyoming and are nearly killed. Meanwhile, Amy and Dan find a black notebook owned by Sparrow, a.k.a. Jane Sperling at the castle. Inside is a note that probably will lead them to the location of the de Virga map. By another stroke of bad luck, Casper bumps into them, and almost kills them, but Jonah and Hamilton came to the rescue.

Analysis comes from the command center about the notes: they are about a Johannes Kepler book that was recovered from the castle to the Library of Philosophy and Cosmology in Prague, Czeh Republic. They head there to investigate the book, but can't without a reference paper. They try to use Rosenbloom's father, but it's still not a success. At the hotel, they again escape from Milos Vanek.

After going to Sedlec Ossuary on a hunch from the Command Center, they discover a flash drive file about a Vesper One report and the initials AJT, Arthur Josiah Trent, carved on the wall, which shocks Dan because it proves that Arthur was a Vesper. They then call Erasmus, who answers all their questions about Arthur. He explains how Arthur was initiated into the Vespers but later cut off all ties with them. Afterwards, Ian calls to tell Amy that a Lucian professor has agreed to help Dan and Amy enter the Library of Philosophy.

After going to the library, they bump into Jake and Atticus outside. Although Jake is originally inclined to call the Interpol, Atticus urges him to wait upon seeing the picture of Jane Sperling, who is his great grandmother. Atticus and Jake both decide to help the siblings. Inside, Katja Mavel, the director of the library, gives them what they want. Jake succeed in luring her away, and that leaves Dan, Amy, and Atticus. They finally find the map inside the book itself.Amy and Dan's Journey in google maps Added by SunrabbitLater, the Cahill siblings are trapped inside the room (Atticus managed to get out), and Casper activated the HALON Gas (which remove the oxygen in the room) but with Dan's and Evan's hacking skills combined, the siblings make it out alive.

Back in Prague, Amy and Dan reveal their true intention about what they're doing, and Atticus reveals his involvement as a Guardian. The siblings had never heard of the group before. Dan manages to make a connection with Il Milione and the map: it's Samarkand, Uzbekistan - possibly the next stop for the next heist. Vesper One asks them to drop off the package at the Astronomical Tower, near the statue of Jan Hus. They do what has been asked, but it goes wrong. Atticus comes and is kidnapped.

Vesper One now knows Dan and Amy have been hiding Marco Polo's epilogue all this time, and explains that Atticus was the price of keeping it from him. Minutes later, another message goes to Dan's phone, sent from AJT.

Supplementary works

Scholastic has expanded the 39 Clues universe with several books. In 2010, Scholastic published Agent Handbook, which explores the techniques that the clue hunters in the series use to find clues, and The Black Book of Buried Secrets, which provides more information about events in the series. On the last week of December 2011, the Scholastic editorial team released seven short stories as part of The 39 Clues: Rapid Fire e-book series. As part of the multimedia interactive experience to promote the series, Scholastic includes six cards in each book of the 39 Clues series. Each card unlocks one online clue, which readers can unlock by entering the code on the cards on their 39 Clues account online.

Themes

The 39 Clues series consists of adventure novels; however, the novels also fall within the genre of historical fiction. The stories switch back and forth between different characters' points of view. Each novel focuses on one historical figure and geographical location as Dan and Amy explore a clue related to a prominent Cahill family member in an exotic location.

One theme of the series is the relationship between talent and success. Each branch of the Cahill family has specific talents in a certain area; for example, the Ekaterina branch specializes in inventions and technology. Amy and Dan's competitors' talents give them an advantage, yet Amy and Dan consistently are ahead in the hunt and are viewed as the main threats. Over the course of the books, Amy and Dan discover their own talents.

Origins

An editorial team in Scholastic came up with idea of an interactive series with online games and asked Rick Riordan to write the first book. Riordan agreed because he thought it was a good idea, and as a middle school teacher, he loved making history enjoyable for younger readers. The project was kept secret for about two years.
