so this isn't really a four star book in comparison to what i usually consider four star books. but compared to the other books in this series - which i can't stop reading despite some seriously sub-par offerings - it is. by which i mean it's probably the best book in the series. not in small part because stuff actually happens and you start getting answers to the questions that have existed since the series began. and there weren't so many ridiculous situations and the characterizations didn't...more

This feared group also however had Amy and Dan's parents which makes them Madrigals. Now they must fight once more over a secret they won't forget which may be their "Last Confrontation. "

I'm going to give a generic review of the series. Basically because I'm lazy and don't want to write 39 reviews. Okay, 11.
We finally read Book 1. And then because we liked it so well, the entire series. One son (age 12) has read them all, the second son (also age 12) is on Book 2. And son #3 (age 8) will be starting as soon as he finishes his current book.
I thought the premise of this book very interesting. I loved how they integrated history and geography along with problem-solving skills and c...more

Storm Warning by Linda Sue Park is another good book that I have read in a series. I have not reviewed the whole series because I read all the others last year. Continuing their quest for all 39 Clues, Amy and Dan travel to the Caribbean to uncover the secrets of Anne Bonny, a famous lady pirate, and a Cahill, the most powerful family in the world. Almost all great people are actually Cahills, but a tragedy broke the family into four branches: The Tomas, masters of physical prowess and the most...more
Hmm. If you have been staying with The 39 Clues and following each of the 8 books before this one, then you are probably like I was, ready for some answers. Storm Warning delivers some interesting answers - particularly some answers about Grace, Aunt Beatrice, Nellie, Dan & Amy’s parents, the Madrigals & the Man in Black. Getting some answers doesn’t necessarily mean the secrets are over though. (I for one, am getting suspicious about Grandma Grace. Do you think she’s really dead? I can’...more
The series definitely starts to resolve and wind down in this volume, which provides a mix of emotions. On the one hand, mysteries that have pervaded the series are solved, though not always in a satisfactory way. On the other, some elements of the story seem to be slightly lacking in the sense that there is a ton of build-up in the other eight books, with somewhat mediocre conclusions. I love that the Madrigals aren't as sinister as they're made to seem, but I also wish they were more sinister....more
We finally start to get answers to some big questions at the end of this book. This information changes the entire direction of the clue hunt, and now I'm a little nervous because Amy and Dan have a huge new goal that they need to reach, in addition to finding the last clues. As I understand it, they only have one book left in which to accomplish both tasks. Too much for an entire book? We shall see.

Storm Warning is the continuation of the book, The Emperor's Code. This series is about two siblings, Amy and Dan. You might think they are just average people, but the truth is that their family, the Cahills, is on a hunt all around the world looking for 39 clues that can change the world. In the book Storm Warning, Dan and Amy starts of their next clue search in Bahamas, hoping to find more information about a pirate who they believe is a Cahill, thinking that she (the pirate was a girl) was...more
This series is just wonderful and gets better with each new installment. 39 Clues was written and directed towards middle grade readers but I have to admit I love them and eagerly await each one that comes out (I always give my game cards away to a student which makes me quite popular!)
39 Clues is about two siblings, Amy and Dan Cahill, who were left a challenge in their grandmother's will: accept $1 million and walk away now or take no money but embark on a quest for the 39 clues. Only one fami...more

WELL, of course, there's also the tenth book so I guess that's where I'll declare who the winner is ;)
THIS BOOK IS...as always...AWESOME!!!! :DDDD

This is the last one in this set available right now. We will have to wait for the rest. This last on is probably the best. Good payoff on some of the mysteries built up in the previous books.
These books are great for kids.

This is the latest installment in the "39 Clues" series. Dan and Amy find themselves travelling to the Bahamas and Jamaica, places I wish I was going to this summer, to find the next clues in the hunt their Grandmother set for them in her will not so long ago. This book deals with Amy and Dan really questioning the motives of their Nanny, who so far has been with them every step of the way, helping them with the hunt and making sure they had safe passage around the globe, but can they really tru...more
Storm Warning, by Linda Sue Park
This ninth addition to the 39 clue book series is actually kind of confusing at the beginning because you can’t tell what it is leading up to. Amy and Dan Cahill have been all over the world on their clue hunt to become the most influential people in the history of the world, but the Caribbean is by far the nicest place they have been in yet! But is not even close to the safest place they have been, either. They are being followed by the man in black, a mysteriou...more

Okay after last book i guess everything might look substandard. In the beginning of the book , you can't help get the feeling its the ninth book already and the pattern is all too predictable. Yes we get to know abt new countries get some sis bro jokes but the thrill has gone. First 2 books were completely devoted to the clue hunt the newer ones focused on the improving relationships. But seriously it has become too easy now. US social service is completely out of the scene , even the kabras loo...more
Having read all the books in this series so far, I am now most anxious to read the final book that is due to come out in August. Every book has captured my attention and Book 9: Storm Warning is no exception. It is aptly titled and if you are an astute observer some things are revealed even before you read the book. That’s one of the things I love about The 39 Clues.

Storm Warning is book number 9 in the 39 Clues series. The Cahill kids, Amy and Dan, and their au pair, Nellie, go to the Caribbean in search of a clue left by Anne Bonny, the notorious pirate. I was delighted with the descriptions of the people and places that the kids encountered in the Bahamas and Jamaica. Along the way, the kids face betrayal, find a long-lost relative, and find out what exactly it means to be a Madrigal (a misunderstood and hated branch of the Cahill family). I really liked...more
A vast improvement over the last two installments in the 39 Clues series, "Storm Warning" finally reveals the mystery behind both the Madrigals and what Nellie Gomez has been up to since the clue hunt began.
This time, Dan and Amy Cahill are off to the Caribbean, searching for clues about the pirate Anne Bonny and other historical figures of the area. "Storm Warning" has a good pace and none of the clue hunting seems to rushed as it was in the two previous books in the series. I loved learning m...more

Overall, the 39 Clues Series (in my opinion) isn't the best adventure series I've read. To me, it's a bit gimmicky, with twists and turns coming every other page, so there is no way you can understand where things are heading. That said, Linda Park shows that she writes interesting and exciting adventure books. I think she and Jude Watson are the best writers in this series. In this book (#9 in the series), Amy and Dan are still dealing with the fact that their nanny is a spy, in league with 'th...more
Amazing pace, improbable death-defying feats (though the body count for innocent bystanders is growing). Amy and Dan head to Jamaica to research Anne Bonny, the pirate, and search for the next clues in the deadly race.
My suspension of disbelief is shot to bits. Nelly the au pair is forced to admit a partial level of betrayal - but how deep is she in? Lester was so likeable it almost went without saying he wouldn't survive to the end of the story.

"Storm Warning" by Linda Sue Park continues the story of Amy and Dan Cahill, and their au pair, Nellie Gomez as they travel around the world in search of clues. They are currently in the Bahamas and as they meet lots of new people and have reoccurances with some they know a little bit too well, will they still be able to stay ahead in the race?

I gave this book 3 stars because this book is filled with mistery. You never know what is going to happen next. In this book right now they are going to decide weather to go to the bahamas or Jamaca. Nellie is one of the main character she wants to go to the bahamas becuase she thinks there are alot of pirates there. She also wants to find some treasure. Mr. McIntyle is not convinced he wants to go to jamaca and lay and the beach and mostly tan. Mr. McIntyle is Nellies drivers he takes her to pl...more
This installment is the best for me so far. The hunt became unexpected, unpredictable. The children went blind going to the Bahamas (note to self, include Oceanus in places to visit). The Kabras have shown their fangs fully - there is no stopping Isabel now. And I love how Grace has readied the children's path toward the next clue. Of course, nothing can beat the children's introduction to the Madrigals. The events are just overwhelming that I even felt "emotionally used" after reading. That the...more
The book showcases lots of satisfying reveals as we near the end of the journey. But somehow not so much heart or excitement. It's not that there weren't emotional scenes, adventure betrayals, love, sacrafice, danger, etc., but it felt a little distanced and simplified compared to some of the books. There was an enjoyable amount of girl power in the book though, both from historic figures and our heroes.

I am totally in love with the idea of the Madrigals as the descendents of a later child rather than the villians they are thought to be. I'm even in love with idea that Nellie was no accident. BUT, one tiny sentence at the end of the book just absolutely ruined in for me. That the formula ALTERED THE DNA of children. I mean, wow, really? These books have been so fun and educational, and they just got stupid really fast. This is a pet peeve of mine, and I am seriously miffed to find out that such...more
4.5 stars. One of the best books in this series yet! Things are finally coming together and being revealed as Dan and Amy race around the world - this time in the Caribbean - against relatives on the hunt for the 39 clues. The narration's viewpoint shifted between a few of the characters, so we got to see how others were feeling, and there was excitement mixed with danger and red herrings. The author was one of the better writers, too, which made the reading super quick and smooth. The reveal at...more

I read the first 3 books in the series a while ago. I enjoyed them, but I got kind of bored and stopped reading the series - they seemed to all be kind of the same story just a different clue in a different location. When Lindsey (my 10-year-old) got interested in the books I reread the first 3 and then finally kept on going ... Once I got past the 4th and 5th books, the story really started to interest me. The last few (books 8 & 9) really added some depth to the characters and emotion to t...more

I gotta say this one was rather different from the rest of the series; and probably the best one so far. Not only did it contain some dark moments (poor Lester) and less silly events, but it'd also given out enough information regarding unresolved queries that you probably might have been asking yourself ever since the series had begun; the true identity of the Man in Black included. It could be just a partial coverage of the truth but nevertheless, I'm still hooked. So, so gonna read the remain...more
This book is one of my favorites. In here Amy and Dan work hard to find the next clue, and the first stop is a cave in the Caribbean. They must find 4 key trinkets, 1 for each branch and its correspondent animal, as their are important in the clue hunt. Many dangers occur during this mission, including Dan and Amy almost drowning inside the cave, and Amy hitting her head hard because of the waves. The kids still can't seem to trust Nellie, so they must find the clues without her and their relati...more
