Day of doom

David Baldacci

Book - 2013

It started with a kidnapping. A shadowy organization known only as the Vespers snatched seven members of the Cahill family and demanded a series of bizarre ransoms from around the world. Thirteen-year-old Dan Cahill and his older sister Amy began a global treasure hunt, determined to bring back whatever Vesper One needed, so long as it kept the hostages safe. But when they deliver the last ransom, Amy and Dan discover Vesper One's terrifying endgame. The objects he demanded are vital pieces in a Vesper plot that will harm millions of innocent people. Now the two siblings and their friends are in an all-out sprint to stop Vesper One before the whole world goes boom!

Review by Horn Book Review

Siblings Amy and Dan reach a breaking point when they discover the Vespers' fatal plan (Trust). In Doom, the two face the near-impossible task of destroying a Doomsday device and shutting down the Vespers indefinitely. The final two entries in this suspenseful series are more focused and deliberately paced than previous books, which helps bring the story to a satisfying conclusion. [Review covers these 39 Clues: Cahills vs. Vespers titles: Day of Doom and Trust No One.] (c) Copyright 2013. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

Now was not the time for Amy Cahill's courage to fail. She had to keep her wits about her. Amy knew she would have to be wary of poisons, a stable of the Lucian branch. Isabel might have a hidden needle in a ring, or perhaps embedded in her shoe. Whatever the case, Amy would be ready. This was one on one. And she was going to take Isabel down, finally. She balled up her courage and prepared to face one of her worse nightmaes, Isabel Kabra. Excerpted from Day of Doom by David Baldacci All rights reserved by the original copyright owners.
