The Medusa Plot

OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD!!edit on Sept 24, 2011Oh lordy, after finishing the first series, I STILL don't get why it's soooo good! Especially with it being a kiddie series andwell, I'm not a kiddieThis book was a GREAT and FANTASTIC start-off for "Cahills vs Vespers".Things I love about it:1) The Cahills are getting along in a "family" manner without the possibility of unexpectedly stabbing each other in the back.2) The Vespers are delightfully sinister! I love them! They add more suspense and myste [...]

Completed audiobook on a 5-day road trip with my 10-year old.We liked the continuing adventures of Dan and Amy Cahill, helping to save their post-39-Clues extended family from the intent-on-world-domination Vespers organization. The books are sort of "Jason Bourne lite", as Amy and Dan (now 12 and 15, I think) are able to move somewhat freely around the world despite being in the crosshairs of Interpol. And everybody they know are a little too willing to support them, but hey, these were designe [...]

It said about 2 siblings who are the members of the most powerful family in the world, the Cahill family.When 7 of their relatives are kidnapped they got to do whatever Vesper One say to get them back. One mistake, one will die.

Just read the synopsis. Dan is 13? Two years passes eh? Doesn't that mean Amy is 17? Whoas, hard to imagine man. can't wait to read though I have to read Vespers Rising first ^.^

I CANNOT WAIT THIS LONG!!!!!!

2.5 stars. The extra half star to round it up to 3 is for the sheer fun the previous books were.Not quite the page turner I was expecting. Oh, it was action-packed alright, but it somehow felt a bit lackluster compared to the previous 39 clues books. Where's Riordan when you need him?!Amy and Dan are, once again, racing against time - this time trying to save the lives of seven of their lot who have been kidnapped by the mysterious Vesper One. He/she needs Amy and Dan to steal certain priceless [...]

Such a good book! Loved the previous series, this one is so far even more exciting. My son was worried about Gordon Korman being the author because his school MADE him read "Schooled" this summer, and he felt that was extremely preachy. He hates preachy. No time for preaching in this book it moves really fast! I read it on a plane so it had my undivided attention (except for the soda my daughter spilled, and then my son and then ME Yes, we have the klutzy gene.). GK did a great job describing th [...]

Это просто одинадцать из десяти. Черт подери, они привзошли мои ожидания. События этой книги разворачиваются спустя два года, после событий 11-й предыдущего цикла. Герои очень изменились, за них теперь жутко переживаешь, больше поражаешься и задерживаешь дыхание чуть ли не � [...]

This book is about two children Amy and Dan who must save their family from kidnapping but what will be the ransom. I like this book because it has a lot of action and drama just what I like and the story is so fascinating. I would recommend this book to my brother he likes these types of books and will enjoy it.

August?!?!?!?! I HAVE TONWAIT TILL AUGUST?!?!?!?

Dan Brown meets Spy Kids. For something aimed at teens or tweens, it was interesting. A quick, breezy read. I'll probably catch up with the rest of the series in between bigger, weightier books.

In the realistic fiction novel The Medusa Plot by Gordan Korman they start by getting a message like they always do from Vesper #1 and the message continues them on a long trip through Italy meeting up with friends and finding enemies. The two-main characters, Dan and Amy Cahill, are brother and sister both of them are alike but they have some key differences, like Amy would never do anything risky Dan on the other hand would do something risky just for fun. Amy is very smart and can study and m [...]

I loved this book because it was so interesting and sad but like most books it is ok in the end. This book would be ideal for 4th though 6th if they like a book with action. If you liked the 39 clues the first book you will love this book. This story focuses on there family bond.

I just finished listening to this first book in the second 39 Clues series on the way back from a trip to Pennsylvania this weekend. I find audiobooks are a wonderful way to pass the time in the car, and books that are action-packed like the 39 Clues are especially riveting. The story kept me awake as I drove six hours in the dark. That said, I'm losing some of my enthusiasm for this storyline. Now Dan and Amy Cahill are having to band together with some of the very relatives who were trying to [...]

You never quite know with this series what you're going to get book to book because the authors change, but I thought this was one of the better installments. I liked the slightly more mature tone, it was appropriate after everything these kids have been through to acknowledge that they're pretty traumatized and to deal with that. But it's still simple enough for younger readers as well. it's still a bit silly, the idea that these kids could rob a major museum with a day of preparation is just r [...]

Get ready for another action packed installment of the famous 39 Clues series. You thought our heroes Amy and Dan were done after discovering the secret of the 39 clues? Well guess again. This new series is very exciting, with loads of suspense and mystery thrown in. Cahills are being kidnapped by an evil organization called the Vespers. Amy and Dan have to follow the Vespers demands or the unthinkable will happen.Amy, now seventeen, is stronger and smarter than ever. Amy is amazing as she quick [...]

Dan and Amy have to rescue seven Cahills who have been kidnapped by the Vespers. The two travel to Italy where they have to steal a Caravaggio painting called, Medusa, from the Uffizi Museum. The clues lead them next to the Colosseum in Rome.Book one is vague on plot. It isn’t clear why the Vespers kidnapped that many people. I found this novel less funny, less believable, and more violent. Amy has a boyfriend and Dan is more serious. Dan also betrays his good friend which I thought was out of [...]

This book wasn't quite what I was hoping for, but I am still a fan of the series. The Medusa Plot had a more somber tone than previous ones. In the other books Dan and Nellie often added comic relief. Not so in this one. This time, the author brings out a darker side to Dan. I didn't like that Dan and Amy were made to steal and do other things to break the law in this book. In the original series, when they took things, they were items that belonged to their family. Here, it was stealing for the [...]

The Medusa Plot was a weird read. I liked the story, and I really enjoyed most of the characters, but I didn't understand what was going on. It seemed like this book had a very cool concept behind it, but nothing was explained throughout the whole book. I loved the concept of different families with different powers, but I just didn't know who was what. Maybe I skipped that page by accident? I liked that it had kids with special abilities in it, the story was not as serious thanks to that. I did [...]

Once again, Amy and Dan are off on another adventure. Many of their crazy relatives, who have now become friends, have been kidnapped by the mysterious group the Vespers. The leader of the group have sent Amy and Dan on a dangerous mission, threatening to hurt or kill the hostages. Join Amy and Dan as they do crazy things in this book following the 39 clues.I gave this book a 4 star rating because even though it had and excellent idea for a plot, I did not like how much the characters have chang [...]

This book is AMAZING!!! It takes place after the first series. Amy and Dan thought they won the clue hunt and that their lives would be normal. But they were wrong. Now 7 Cahills have been kidnapped worldwide. Amy and Dan have received a package that contains a cell phone with one text message. "We have hostages. Do what we want or they die". This book keeps you reading until the end. I recommend this book to people who love mystery/detective fiction stories.

It was a good book. Will write my full review later. Just bought it from the book store. No, not in Vietnam, they don't sell that, in Australia, exactly.I must said that I have always like the 39 clues series. They were hilarious, full with action and adventures, a little bit romance, and classified secrets.But the medusa plot was a little disappointed. I don't know why.

My book"The 39 Clues The Minnesota Plot'' is is about a 13-year-old boy named Daniel is older sister, Amy, they thought they belong to the most powerful Family in the world. In that other series 39 clues they were looking the 39 clues to reveal a secret that they're dead grandmother get them and in this series of 39 clues Cahills vs Vespers all of the Cahill's I've been kidnapped by the Vespers.

The kids & I listen to this series in the car, and we thoroughly enjoyed the previous books. We were so excited to find this on and 2 others on CD at the library this week! As I've said before, it's DaVinci Code for kids. Even 'Mom' enjoys listening!! :)

Another great installment to the 39 Clues series. Liked the idea of how Caravaggio's 'Medusa' was a map of the tunnels under the Colloseum. Atticus was a fun character to read about. This book was much more intense than most of the others since seven people's lives were on the line.

The authors who write these books are Masters of suspense!!!! Hints of a deeper, ancient race/search/fight for something are given. People still held hostageabbing for the next book right now!!!

This book is great! I recommend reading all of the 39 Clues books!

Have I mentioned how much I love this series? And, admittedly, this was defintely one of the best books--Korman is one of my favorite authors as it is.
