Overview
The 39 Clues is a globe-trotting mystery series created by Rick Riordan and brought to life by a rotating team of celebrated authors. This complete paperback collection gathers all eleven books of the original Clue Hunt arc, following siblings Amy and Dan Cahill as they race across continents to solve a 500-year-old mystery tied to the powerful Cahill dynasty. Packed with codes, historical intrigue, and high-stakes competition against rival branches of the family, this brand-new set lets middle-grade and tween readers experience the entire saga from start to finish, one thrilling clue at a time.
About the Books
The 39 Clues launched in 2008 as a genre-bending publishing event: a single continuous storyline told across eleven novels, each written by a different acclaimed author but overseen by series creator Rick Riordan, who mapped the overarching plot and penned the opening volume, The Maze of Bones. When billionaire matriarch Grace Cahill dies, she leaves her heirs an extraordinary choice: take a million dollars, or forfeit it for a single clue that starts a race toward the secret behind the Cahill family's centuries of influence. Orphaned siblings Amy and Dan Cahill choose the clue, and the hunt begins, sending them from Paris catacombs to Korean palaces, Egyptian tombs, Australian outback, and Russian archives as they decode riddles, dodge rival branches of the family, and slowly piece together the truth about the mysterious 39 Clues. Each author brings a distinct voice and setting to the saga while maintaining the same core cast, timeline, and mounting tension, so the story reads as one sprawling adventure rather than a loosely connected anthology. Themes of loyalty, sibling bond, ambition, and the cost of secrecy run throughout, giving the fast-paced plotting real emotional stakes. This eleven-book paperback set collects the entire first Clue Hunt series in reading order, from the opening race in The Maze of Bones to the origin-story revelations of Vespers Rising, making it easy for new readers to dive in and longtime fans to complete their collection.
