Another Great Swindle StoryBy Daniel JohnstonUnleashed is the seventh book in the popular Swindle series by Gordon Korman. Each book stands on its own and is about the gang of Griffin Bing and his group of his friends. Griffin is the Man with The Plan and the books are about kids doing stuff and taking matters into their own hands.This book starts out with action as the kids have an invention contest at their school. Everyone assumes Griffin will be able to make a great invention because his dad's an inventor, but he knows it's not going to be that easy. He and his worst nemesis Darren Vader make a bet on who will win the contest.When Griffin tries to enlist his friend Melissa's technological skills to help him, it creates a riff in the group as another friend, Pitch, claims that Griffin is looking down on her because she's a girl. Of course the charge is ridiculous, but it splits them up.At the same time, Luthor, Savannah's pet dog, is constantly going into the street and chasing a particular car.

  • The 39 Clues Blog Tour: Access Granted, Peter Lerangis
    The 39 Clues Blog Tour: Access Granted, Peter Lerangis Posted by Bianca Schulze on August 18, 2010 By Peter Lerangis, for The Children’s Book Review Published: August 18, 2010 Welcome to the 7th stop of The 39 Clues blog tour. We are thrilled to host Peter Lerangis! Be sure to enter the giveaway for your chance to win books 1-7 of this exciting and groundbreaking series. The teacher looked distressed as she greeted me. “I can’t believe what happened to my class,” she said. I braced myself. Behind her, hundreds of excited kids were filing in to the gym. They sat in sections based on the colors of their shirts: red, blue, green, gold, representing the four branches of the Cahill family. Most were dressed as 39 Clues characters. Jonah Wizard (with his bling) and Nellie Gomez (with her punk attire) were very popular — but also a set of twins dressed as fish (Saladin’s red snapper), a girl in a three-piece suit (Jonah’s dad), and a guy dressed as Nellie. They seemed happy and engaged. So what had gone wrong? I knew the school had chosen The 39 Clues as the theme for that year’s curriculum. Makes sense — the series is a worldwide search (geography) for Clues left by the most influential people of all time (history, science), involving twisty plots and strong emotional character connections (language arts) among colorful locales (visual art) and requiring the decoding of cryptic clues (mathematics, logic). Hmm. Was the teacher disturbed by the intensity? It was kind of extreme … That morning, the school had warned us to call ahead.

Vespers Rising has an announced first printing of 500,000 copies. Continuing the multi-platform concept, the second part of the series will entail collectible cards and an online game and will include enhanced interactive features on the series’ Web site. The 39 Clues model has obviously clicked with young readers: there are more than 8.5 million copies of the original 10-book series in print, the series has been licensed for publication in 24 languages, and the Web site has more than 1.2 million registered users to date. Asked about the incentive for creating part deux, David Levithan, v-p and editorial director of Scholastic Press and multi-media publishing, has a simple answer: “The kids wanted it.” He notes that the 10th book, Margaret Peterson Haddix’s Into the Gauntlet, which pubbed in August, “was our best launch yet. And when that book came out, the first installment, The Maze of Bones by Rick Riordan, was still among the top 10 titles on BookScan’s children’s list. The 39 Clues has engaged both readers and gamers and has created a world that kids don’t want to leave and that new kids are discovering all the time.” Rachel Griffiths, senior editor of Scholastic Press and editor of The 39 Clues, says that the 2.0 version immerses readers into the series’ action more extensively than before.
