5 Stars

What would you do if you had to choose between a million dollars, or a clue to a family secret?Well, if you were Amy and Dan Cahill, you would have taken the clue, and start a deadly race........

Dan is your average,baseball card collecting kid.But when he goes into the contest, he can find a lot of clues.
Amy on the other hand, is a bookworm. she loves different cultures.
Nellie, their Au pair (i don`t know what that means) used to be their babysitter, but she helps them whenever she can. Saladin, their cat, is an Egyptian Mau. He loves red snapper. In a normal family, trusting your relatives are not risky at all.But if you`re a Cahill, trusting your relatives can get you killed.

This book is really suspenseful the main characters (Amy and Dan) are always (really!) being double-crossed(xx) and in burning houses (ouch!) and in tons (really, TONS!) of explosions!

If you want to hear the whole story and how it began, you should read books I and II first .
I would recommend this book to 3rd-5th graders who like a bit of action and mystery.

Happy Reading!
