My first warning is to go and read book #1 The Maze of Bones before you read this one. You can read book #2 without reading book #1, but it is hard to sum up a book in 1 or 2 pages (as the author does at the beginning of the book here) and not miss out on anything. My second warning is this - do NOT start this series if you don't plan on buying all of the other books in the series as it is highly addictive! I found myself racing along with Amy & Dan to find out what happened next and swallowed the book in one sitting. It was also great to learn a little bit more about the famous composer Mozart and his family. The book also really made me want to travel to Austria to see everything that the children saw for myself. If only I had the money and the time.
Anyway, this book is a bit different in that Amy & Dan argue a lot in it. Most of their arguments are due to Dan being a little know-it-all and Amy constantly putting herself, and her brother, down and intimating that neither of them is clever enough to really win the prize at the end of the 39 clues. Some may say that they are being typical siblings, (and I would agree), but it may be perceived as a little bit excessive. I understand why the author felt that it was necessary, though, as the 2 siblings are together all the time and I know that I need my alone time to enable to me to keep an even keel around other people. Also, in the first book, Amy & Dan were reacting to circumstances around them and now they have to be more active in choosing their routes and deciding if they want to continue in the race now that they know what they are in for. This naturally leads to discussions, which can easily become heated. Dan & Amy are definitely opposites in almost everything so there were a lot of these "discussions." I wasn't too bothered with the arguing, actually, as I come from a really big family and I am sure that is how we sounded to outsiders, too. Only someone who a brother or sister can truly understand that you can argue with someone and still love them and back them up no matter what.
This book is much more fast paced than the first book, which had a bit of a slow start for me. For those of you who didn't really enjoy the first book in the series, The Maze of Bones, and were a little bit bored, please give this one a try as I think that you will enjoy it more. The first book was needed to set the stage and introduce the characters, but, now that is over, we are ready to get to the good stuff. I really couldn't wait to find out what would happen next! There was more dialogue and action in this second book and it may be due to the fact that it was written by a different author. It appears that each book will be written by a different, well-known children's author so the style of this book is a little bit different than the first one, but I didn't really notice and it wasn't different enough to jar me out of the story. I found Gordon Korman's writing style was well suited for children and was clear and easy to read. This book also comes with a pack of 6 cards that you can use to play games and collect clues online. Many of the cards contain puzzles that children need to solve to unlock clues online and I love that Scholastic tried to make this a completely interactive series. My nephew and I spent hours in front of the computer entering all of the cards, playing the games, and solving the puzzles on the missions that were available. This is a great book to read with children.
