Description
The Cahills aren't the only family searching for the Clues. . . .
The Cahills thought they were the most powerful family the world had ever known. They thought they were the only ones who knew about Gideon Cahill and his Clues. The Cahills were wrong. Powerful enemies -the Vespers- have been waiting in the shadows. Now it's their time to rise and the world will never be the same. In Vespers Rising, a brand new 39 Clues novel, bestselling authors Rick Riordan, Peter Lerangis, Gordon Korman and Jude Watson take on the hidden history of the Cahills and the Vespers, and the last, terrible legacy Grace Cahill leaves for Amy and Dan.

Praise for the Skeleton Creek series
"There are so many good things to say about this book. The part print, part video format that will entice reluctant readers... . It will inspire other juvenile literature authors to incorporate technology into their offerings. It will make possible the telling of more interesting and complex tales." —www.The—Trades.com
"All the way to the last chilling pages, readers will be entralled and totally surprised by the unexpected answers. Ghost in the Machine continues with tightrope tension interwoven with pop culture and literary references. Everybody here seems to be a suspect, and no one can be trusted. Hang on to your flashlights and be ready for some really great twists! —www.teenreads.com
"Patrick Carman's Skeleton Creek is a goose bump raising novel with a twist... So find a comfy chair next to a computer and see how this ghost story unfolds." —Pittsburgh Post—Gazette
