The 39 Clues Synopsis: The Maze of Bones by Rick Riordan is the first book in the 39 Clues series. Immediately before death, Grace Cahill put in her will to choose either $1,000,000 or a clue. She is part of the most powerful family in the world with connections to everyone from Napoleon to Houdini and more. 39 Clues are hidden that can reveal this secret, but someone must find them. Daughter and son (of Grace) Amy and Dan Cahill must now decide to either look for the clues or find out what actually happened to their parents.

I’m confused by the order in which the Cahill Files books should be read.
Start with Spymasters and read the list in reverse order or Begin wiwth spymasters and then Operation Trinity downward?
Terrific site. Glad to find a list somewhere to clarify a fun but baffling series of books.
