The 39 Clues Book November 15, 2008

I just bought this mystery book for Fairy Girl she has been fully immersed in the book for hours now.  I like how the book has a website too- it inspires an adventure to find all the clues.  The series will include chapter books, online gaming, and collector cards.  There will be 10 books in all between now and 2010.  The series of books are being published by the same company as the popular “Harry Potter” series.

Scholastic Media is also hoping to extend this series into film.
