Beyond the Grave / Jude Watson / 190 pages

This is the 4th book in the 39 Clues series. This time we find Amy and Dan heading to Egypt to find the next clue. I listened to the audio version and David Pittu does a great job with the book. These books are winners because of the puzzles, mystery, villains and heroes but also because of the growing and changing relationship between the two siblings. The author combines just the right amount of history, geography, mystery, trust & mistrust, humor, and adventure to engage readers and leave them running to get the next title. Recommended for all readers (especially boys) in late elementary and middle school.
