Goodreads Overview:
Throughout the hunt for the 39 Clues, Amy and Dan have encountered some of the darkest aspects of history . . . and had to deal with the role their family played. But are they ready for the truth? In this thrilling ninth installment, Amy and Dan hit the high seas as they follow the trail of some infamous ancestors to track down a long lost treasure. However, the real prize isn’t hidden in a chest. It's the discovery of the Madrigals' most dangerous secret and, even more shockingly, the true identity of the mysterious man in black.
Review:
Amy and Dan do not trust Nellie, their au pair, for the majority of this book. They believe she is leaking clues and information to the other teams on the quest. She has been very secretive and the other teams always seem to have information only the three of them should know. If Amy and Dan aren't sharing the information, that leaves only Nellie.
This leg of the hunt takes place in the Bahamas and Jamaica. We learned about pirates - Anne Bonny in particular. She was most likely a Cahill and dressed up like a boy to become a pirate.
Amy and Dan finally get the better of Isabel Kabra, which was a long time coming. This was essential in acquiring another clue at the end of the book, which leads them to the next destination in the hunt.
Just when they were about ready to quit and head home, some HUGE revelations are exposed. The Cahill kids now have a mission that is even more important than winning the clue hunt. They must accomplish the mission Grace, their parents, and generations of Madrigals have been working towards for centuries.
This was another entertaining installment in the series. I enjoy the historical aspects of the stories and look forward to seeing what is in store for Amy and Dan when they arrive in England.
