The first book introduces readers to the powerful Cahill family and begins with the death of the Cahill clan matriarch Grace, who changes her will at the last moment, giving her descendants the choice between an inheritance or a clue.
Siblings Amy and Dan Cahill find themselves faced with an unusual choice: inherit one million dollars or participate in a perilous treasure hunt. Cahills have determined the course of history for centuries, and this quest's outcome will bring the victors untold power which will affect all of humankind.
Against the wishes of nasty Aunt Beatrice, their reluctant guardian since their parents' deaths, Dan and Amy accept the challenge, convincing their college-age au pair to serve as designated adult. Pitted against other Cahill teams, who will stop at nothing to win, the siblings decipher the first of 39 clues and are soon hot on the historical trail of family member Ben Franklin, to unearth the next secret.
Adeptly incorporating a genuine kids' perspective, the narrative unfolds like a boulder rolling downhill and keeps readers glued to the pages. As the siblings work together to solve puzzles and survive dangers, they develop into well-drawn individuals with their own strengths and personalities. The book dazzles with suspense, plot twists, and clever humor and gets readers clambering to get their hands on the next book and the next clue!
