    About this audiobook

    Amy and Dan are in a race for their lives . . . and the enemy may be even closer than they think.


    When seven members of their family were kidnapped by a sinister organization known as the Vespers, thirteen-year-old Dan Cahill and his older sister, Amy, vowed they'd stop at nothing to bring the hostages home. But then the ransom comes in and the Vespers demand the impossible. Amy and Dan have just days to track down and steal an ancient map. The only catch? No one has seen the map for half a century.Now Amy and Dan are on a desperate search that will lead them to the Nazis, spies, a mad king and some of history's dirtiest secrets. It's the race of their lives . . . and one misstep will mean certain death for the hostages.

      The way the authors of this series blend fact with fiction is absolutely astounding to me. I feel compelled to look up every little "fact" stated to see if it's true or simply part of the Cahill canon, but I stop myself because I REFUSE to destroy the temporary suspension of disbelief with this series (at least until I've finished it).
    • 5/5
      I think this is a great set of books to get kids involved in reading. It used real books, game cards and the computer. Clues are everywhere to solve the mystery.
    • 5/5
      There was only one thing I disliked; the fact that this book was over so quickly.

      The book a kings ransom is about Amy and Dan her younger brother go on the orient express and bump in to a vesper. The spy. She was trying to find out some information about this brother and sister team. But over all this book was nice because it is challenging for a younger student but very action packed and mysterious .
