“I have both books and finished reading each of them in a week - I love them. But it was also great playing the games on Arena 39. It was really tough getting all the high scores. 39 Clues is AWESOME.”
Prize-winner Mahmoud A. of Kanata, Canada
“I think [The 39 Clues is] great for kids, especially the history part of it — they go into different countries and they’re learning about different places.”
Meeta N., mother of prize-winner Aaron F, Richmond Hill, NY
