Into the Gauntlet The 39 Clues Book 10 Margaret Peterson Haddix Margaret Peterson Haddix 9780545060509 Books

Book 10 was, appropriately enough, the longest book in the 39 Clues series. Author Haddix needed all the page count she could get to tie up this series in a satisfying manner. She largely succeeds but there are some things that don't really add up.

Haddix does bring the various branches of the family together in a reasonably believable fashion. Fortunately, the previous books had laid the groundwork adequately so it didn't seem too rushed. The generational conflicts among the branches play out very well in my opinion. Especially well done is the growth exhibited by Jonah Wizard. There are also a few nice surprises as the book builds to its conclusion. All in all, quite satisfying, page turning, have to stay up another hour to finish it excitement.

But not every question gets a satisfying answer. The biggest to my mind is how did Amy and Dan's family ever get accepted as being Cahills in the first place? They weren't descended from any of the four known children of Gideon Cahill. So why is Grace (and later Amy and Dan) accepted as Cahills? How did Grace achieve her high status among the Cahill clan without belonging to any of the branches?

Perhaps the sequel series delve into these questions. This book and the entire series can be highly recommended to children and adults alike. Great fun.

Into the Gauntlet The 39 Clues Book 10 Margaret Peterson Haddix Margaret Peterson Haddix 9780545060509 Books Reviews

You really would have wanted to have read the previous books. It is a great story but without the history of Amy and Dan , you would have had many unanswered questions. I really was glad to see the characters develop a snse of self. Can't wait for the series "Next Gen Cahills." I can hope, right?
This entire series is a wonderful creation! Kids will love the sense of adventure as well as learning some good decoding and survival skills!
I wanted to complete my collection of 39 clues. I have not yet read beyond book 8. I read the first book to my elementary class and they were intrigued. I sure that this one will be just as good as the others!
My son loves this series and he's 10
Fair value for the money.
Well, it's a very tense book all right. Everyone does a lot of shrieking and shrieking and "No! You'll need me soon to get the clue, don't ditch me now!" Everyone secretly considers their options and how to betray the others. It's the Cahill family at its ugliest. However, it is a satisfactory conclusion, and Mrs. Pruderbottom was the one who MADE this book for me. You'll see what I mean. ;) oh, and Hamilton holt. I love Hamilton! He's better than all the rest put together!!
As a second grade teacher, I became acquainted with the 39 Clues series through my classroom book club. However, my 9 year old granddaughter is really the one who inspired me to start reading the books. After reading Book One, I was hooked. The books are filled with fascinating details about history and geography. The story line is well written and fast-paced. I can't put them down! These adventures are perfect for strong readers ages 9 and up.
