The Cahill family has a secret. For five hundred years, they have guarded the 39 Clues -- thirty-nine ingredients in a serum that transforms whomever takes it into the most powerful person on earth. If the serum got into the wrong hands, the disaster would rock the world. So certain Cahills have always made it their mission to keep the serum safe, buried, locked away. Until now.
Thirteen-year-old Dan Cahill and his older sister, Amy, are the latest guardians of the Clues. They think they’ve done everything right, but a tiny mistake leads to catastrophe. The serum is missing and Dan and Amy have to get it back and stop who stole it . . . before it’s game over. For everyone.
The 39 Clues: Unstoppable Book 2: Breakaway
A Nightmare Come True
As a member of the most powerful family history has ever known, thirteen-year-old Dan Cahill has been shot at, kidnapped, and even thrown into a pit with a deadly snake. He's survived it all due to luck, smarts, and his older sister, Amy, who always sticks by his side.
Now Dan and Amy are facing their greatest threat yet, an enemy who has found a way to use the source of the Cahill family power against them. To stop him, Dan and Amy must set out on a desperate mission that will take them from one of the world's hottest regions all the way to the frozen blast of the Arctic Circle. But with the enemy closing in , Dan finds himself facing the one terror he never imagined - being betrayed by his own sister.

From Booklist
This second volume in the Unstoppable series—an offshoot of the 39 Clues—picks up where Jude Watson’s Nowhere to Run (2013) left off, with the supercapable Cahill siblings, Amy and Dan, evading the superincompetent henchmen of baddie J. Rutherford Pierce and globetrotting for the next ingredient (the extinct silphium plant) in the serum that will end Pierce’s powers. Pierce’s worldwide smear campaign makes things difficult for the siblings and their gaggle of cousins as they head from the ruins of Tunisia into the Arctic Circle. Hirsch packs a fair amount of interesting lore into his shenanigans, and if you’ve got the stomach for such exclamations as “Awesomesauce!” then the series will continue to oblige you: entries by Natalie Standiford and Gordon Korman are on the way. Grades 4-6. --Daniel Kraus

Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Gr 3–7—Amy, Dan, Jake, and Atticus arrive in Guatemala to find the next ingredient for the serum antidote that will stop J. Rutherford Pierce in his quest to take over the world. The boys are still giving Amy the cold shoulder, upset over decisions she has made as head of the Cahill family, but they continue to work together to outsmart Pierce's henchmen and decode the clues necessary to find the next ingredient. While searching for temple ruins in the rainforest, Dan's life is threatened; to save him, Amy makes a difficult decision that will have far-reaching consequences. The stakes are higher than ever in the latest installment. The solid, well-paced narration of David Pittu keeps listeners engaged from the first chapter through the intense ending. Pittu smoothly switches between characters by providing distinct voices for each, though it's occasionally difficult to differentiate between Dan and Atticus. As the penultimate book in the series, multiple lives are left hanging in the balance and listeners will be on the edge of their seats as they await the conclusion.—Amanda Raklovits, Champaign Public Library, IL --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

The 39 Clues: Unstoppable Book 4: Flashpoint
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Kicking off a “39 Clues” spin-off series that will run for four episodes, this setup reunites siblings Amy and Dan Cahill with various squabbling cousins. Ruthless media tycoon J. Rutherford Pierce has stolen a serum that endows him with super powers and has set out to conquer the Earth. His grand scheme involves eliminating the Cahills, so Dan, Amy, and the others find themselves racing from Ireland to Anatolia to procure ingredients for the serum’s antidote. Meanwhile, the kids are pursued by a squad of superstrong hit men, who turn out to be astonishingly incompetent; the Cahills survive at least six assassination attempts early on in the story—but, then, the tale still has a long way to go, and it wouldn’t do to start killing off cast members yet. Each episode will be packaged with collectible cards, as well as codes that will unlock additional adventures on an associated web page. With a 39 Clues–inspired film tentatively scheduled for release in 2014, this fast read will find a ready-made audience. Grades 4-6. --John Peters --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.
