Delve Into Operation Trinity (The 39 Clues: The Cahill Files, #1) Planned By Clifford Riley Accessible As Paperbound

three stories in one book, though they are tied together by theclues and the Cahill family, I liked the first two, the third was not as good because the only likable character appeared only at the very end, This series was an absolute surprise to me, and when I first started I was a bit unimpressed, however as the story carried on and things began to happen and plots and ideas twisted and swirled together, it was very quickly becoming very exciting and entertaining.


I became rather impressed and even shocked by some of the insane events that come to pass,

Years have passed since I started this series, and while I haven't finished every book in the whole mysterious saga adventure, I did finish the original series and the Vespers addition.
I am in need of a reread, and from there I can give a proper review upon completion of each book, Operation Trinity could have been better, but it wasn't a bad book, I really enjoyed the last chapter of the book, I love Ian and Natalie wat Probably for a lot younger read, so the story felt like too much detail was missing for me, I can't listen to the next books or read them, I am really really missing the library, So so much. I want the library and I want to stay there for hours and hours and I want to check outbooks and read them all in a day.
And then do it all over again,

I really really really really really really want to go to the library, Do any of you miss the library I do, Very short audiobook about adolescents doing unbelievable things, I enjoy Historical Fiction. This series is has overbooks in several subsets, Although listed as "supplemental" in the Wikipedia description of the series, Operation Trinity appears to be the starting point explaining what is being sought and the lengths to which family members will go to find it.
I enjoyed the few audiobooks and would highly recommend them for young adults and children, Quick amp not bad. I was actually impressed by the characters, not so much by the plots, though, The overall plot is kind of cool, sort of a DaVinci Code thing, but with paintings, This one is broken intodifferent sections taking place in the's with one character,ampfor the others,

The main plot trope is a super important secret amp massive ignorance of it, A son, the least likely, is sent off to guard, but never told anything about why, yet still takes his duty very seriously, I HATE that. No special abilities or fantastic powers, just regular people with some special training in the lastsections, Very incomplete, I suppose to draw kids on to the next in the series, I prefer the Hardy Boys amp I never read many of those, My friends have always thought that it rather strange that I like to read "tween" books or some good old fantasy novels, rather than all those YA paranormal romances they're so fond of.
But honestly, what would you rather read A kickass tale of Grace Cahill saving an awesome piece of artwork from Nazis, or yet another novel about Mary Sue getting a makeover, discovering yet another magickal world full of magickal tall, dark, handsome, possibly secretly royal/rich guys with an angsty past, and going through yet another cliched savingtheworld scheme Although not necessarily in that order

Best quote:
"'That can't be legal,' one of the awestruck guards muttered over the roar of the rotors.

Ian rolled his eyes, Laws were for poor people, "

This book offered some excellent stories, and it was wellpaced and full of excitement, It didn't tie in with the main series very much, but it was very interesting to read, nonetheless who knew Grace was such a badass I loved the part with Ian at the end it's always entertaining to read about their ohsohighandmighty lifestyle.
I think Clifford Riley is a great author, in the way that he manages to submerge the reader in the time period/ lifestyle of the character it drew me in right away.
It was a little predictable at some points when Grace sneaked into Mlle Hubert's office, who DIDN'T immediately know that Mlle Hubert would show up and try to get information/ kill Grace, and the whole idea of words beneath the painting was rather unrealistic and vague, but other than that, I loved it.

With each newClues book that comes out, we all know it's just another moneygrab by Scholastic, but it's hard to NOT be drawn into these excellent books, and Operation Trinity was no exception.
I really liked this book I can't wait to read the next one and keep reading the others to see what happens next, Doing my readathon this week!! This was my first book and I read it in abouthours, sitelink blogspot. co

Notice above in the goodreads description it says this is a stand alone novel, I disagree. I feel like you might get what's going on, but you really should'nt read this unless you have actually read theClues series, I didn't even know this book existed until I was looking through the new orders from my library and saw it, Then I found out that there are four "Cahill File" books and they are all already out so I am behind, For those of you who don't know this is a book series where each book is written by a different author, I love that concept which is why I picked up these books to begin with, I think there arebooks published a year which is neat because it keeps you involved in the mystery and adventures and you really don't forget much in between each book.


This book is short though maybe likepages, . . wish it was a little longer!!! A collection of three short stories scattered through time, involving the ageless struggle between the Vespers and Madrigals,

It sheds light on some of the formative features of the characters while providing a short battle of wits and dire conditions where anything must be done to win in a game that threatens to hold the entire world at the edge of a knife and that which cannot be solved by one man alone.


Rather well written and pretty exciting from start to finish, I found another series! Not as fun as the previous ones though, The early Cahill stories weren't amazing, but luckily not too long, just enough to keep it interesting, But the "present day" part was set before the Clue Hunt, and it was centered on Ian and Natalie, which might have been fun had it been posthunt/postIsabel Ian and Natalie, but it wasn't, it was just bratty and two dimensional Ian and Natalie, so this just wasn't a very satisfying story.
Ohhhh my god, this one is set in Belgium partially, I didn't remember that! They even mention Antwerp's Beeldenstorm no, I don't know the English translation! That's so cool, This feels like coming home in a book,
Anyway, it's been fun while it lasted, Shame it's onlypages.
/ A short book of three loosely connected stories about the Ghent Altarpiece called the Lamb of God,

The stories were jerky, I don't understand the significance of letting a total novice altarboy guard the piece and his willingness to do it.
It was refreshing to see Grace Cahill in action, it was the highlight of the book Another intriguingClues subseries! This book starts out with some of the original Cahill family, hundreds of years back, protecting a special altar piece from the Vespers.
The next section leaps forward in time to thes when Grace Cahill is young, being brought into the family secrets, Then it skips forward again to the last year of her life, still tracking that same altar piece and keeping it away from the wrong hands.


I enjoyed this thrilling tale, and will see if I can get more of this Cahill Files series,

Sidenote thoughts: I found out through reading this book just how much I'd love a whole series dedicated only to telling all the stories of Grace's life.
We could so many behindthescenes stuff about her, and even eventually about Dan and Amy, I'll be waiting for that, I can tell you right now it's not bad, but its not the best book, either,

This book hasstories in it, all about a family of powerful and rich people called 'Cahills, '
It skips years, so the first story is fromor something like that, The kid in this story is sent away by his family to be an altar boy, to protect an altarpiece from an organisation of people called 'The Vespers.
' They are trying to get ahold of the special altarpiece because they say it has clues o a secret, we don't know what it is yet.
Anyway, you'll have to read it to find out what happens although it's pretty obvious what happens, The first story was exciting, same with the second, but at the end something happens that i personally think is pretty stupid, And therd story seems ridiculous and hard to understand, It's practically just one of those boringnormalsceneswherethereisastupidchase, I find them really boring cos it happens in like EVERY mystery book,

Overall, as I said, its not a bad book, but its one of those usualhappeningscenes and it just gets really boring, There is something likeorbooks in the series, and to me, the series is one of those kindaexcitingandboringseries', Honestly, DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!! It was very exciting and descriptive, I get this is a series but book one felt very unfinished and not at all a story in itself to build on, Annoying. leads on to cahills vs vespers great book : A brand new adventure from the world of TheClues!

Foryears, the Cahills have been the most powerful family in the world.
Foryears,

they've protected the source of their power theClues, And foryears, they've kept their secrets silent, Until now. This extraordinary standalone novel cracks open the Cahill vault to tell the story of the most coveted piece of artwork in the world, a masterpiece that has been the target of seven separate theft attempts: Jan van Eycks altarpiece at Ghent.
OPERATION TRINITY chronicles the first Vesper attack on the altarpiece in thes, then jumps to WWII and young Grace Cahills desperate bid to save the masterwork from the Nazis.
The final piece of the novel tells the story of Ian and Natalie Kabras first solo operation and features anth hour appearance by Grace Cahill on her final mission.
History will never be the same, .
