If You Like Peter Lerangis Books, You’ll Love…

The Colossus Rises is the first book in the Seven Wonders series. Jack McKinley is just an ordinary kid with a huge problem: he needs to find the Seven Wonders or he’s going to die. Jack has a rare genetic anomaly that will give him a unique skill, but is threatening to kill him. He’ll be sent to an institute for treatment where he’ll meet a group of friends. The group is distrustful of the director and plots to escape, realizing that their all of their unique skills complement each other and make them a powerful team.

Lerangis’ first book in the 39 Clues series is the third book, The Sword Thief. This one sees Amy and Dan on their way to Japan. The trip is never easy for these two though as their cousins are also in search of the clues. They end up hitching a ride with their Uncle Alistair, who they do not quite trust. They will need to work with him though as his knowledge of Japan is strong and he knows more about the famous warrior and their Cahill ancestor, Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
