The Viper's Nest (The 39 Clues Series #7) by Peter Lerangis

The Viper's Nest (The 39 Clues Series #7) by Peter Lerangis is about the infamous hunt for the 39 clues, a challenge set forth by Grace Cahill in her will. Amy and Dan Cahill have been chasing down the clues, and have been chased by various other nasty members of the Cahill family as they seek the clues to wealth and ultimate power. In this adventure, Amy, Dan, and their au pair Nelly, end up in South Africa, tangled up with the Tomas branch of the family. As the get closer and closer to the 7th clue, the also realize they are coming closer and closer to their parents, who died when the kids were young. Nothing is as it seems in these books, and the ending is always a shocker!

This was another great installment in the 39 Clues Series! I didn't know much about the history of South Africa and Apartheid, so the historical elements of this book were really interesting to me. I love how all of these books are mysteries, but also adventure, and a little bit historical. I'm learning so much about different regions of the globe!
