Beyond the Grave (The 39 Clues Series #4) by Jude Watson takes place in Egypt. The Cahill kids, Dan and Amy, are still searching for all 39 clues left by their late grandmother, Grace, all leading to fame and fortune. In the fourth book, Dan and Amy are searching in Egypt with their Au Pair, Nellie, for a clue dating back to the 16th century! Through their searching they discover an ancient statue of Sakhat, find themselves locked in Nefertari's tomb, and search for the underwater island of Philae in a submarine invented by their Uncle Alistair (who they thought was killed in book #3). As always, danger and deceipt follow these two as other members of the Cahill family continue their search for the clues, as well. The kids have a nasty run-in with cousin Irina, the ex-KGB agent, and have to escape the clutches of evil Uncle Bae when he traps them in the Ekat stronghold!This was another page turner! I love the 39 Clues Series - all of the books are written by different authors, and come out about every 2 months. There are clues within the pages, but also hidden clues within the books that lead the reader to solving even bigger mysteries! There is also an online component with trading cards, games, and reading activities. I'll be reading book #5 tonight!
