The Emperor Code The 39 Clues Book 8 Gordon Korman 9780545060486 Books

I liked this chapter in the 39 Clues saga more than the previous one. It has all the features that make this series so enjoyable - likeable protagonists, breakneck pacing, interesting educational material tightly woven into the plot, global settings, and mystery and intrigue. This outing had all that and some more.

After an absence of several books we get the return of the Janus branch representative, Jonah Wizard. Here he is portrayed with a certain amount of depth. Previously he was a very talented but completely self absorbed, uncaring jerk but now we get a glimpse of some compassion and self doubt. Besides Jonah himself we get some background on his father and for the first time his mother Cora, the head of the Janus branch, makes an appearance in these books.

For the first time in the series Amy and Dan become separated and have to cope without the other's support. As might be expected, this results in some welcome growth especially in Dan.

The ongoing mystery of Nellie and whom she is working for gets some more play here.

Finally, the setting of this book, China, is used in masterful fashion by author Korman. Korman seems to have a talent for researching his locales and working them into his books effectively. His Everest climax was very effective and exciting.

Highly recommended. If you liked the previous books you'll like this one.

The Emperor Code The 39 Clues Book 8 Gordon Korman 9780545060486 Books Reviews

This is an awesome book. I've read a lot of this series, but this is so far my very favorite. These books cost a lot of money, so if you plan on reading them all, I suggest that you go to your public library. I hope you find this review helpful. Remember, trust no one . . .
My 9 year old 3rd grader loves ALL the series in the 39 clues! They are action packed exciting books for him. He reads above grade level so I'm sure they would interest a 4th or 5th grader.
I've been reading the 39 clues books for a while now this was by far the best. I didn't like that Amy and Dan got separated in China but that is my only complaint. This book was thrilling, when they flew to the top of mount Everest and Ian almost fell but Amy saved him. Shocking! Sorry I probably spoiled the book. )
Great series!!!! Adventurous plot and wonderful character development. I read them to my 8 y/o nephew and we both really enjoyed them.
My 12 yr old son read all of these books. He really enjoyed them.
I am throughly enjoying the 39 Clues book series. While some books have been easier than others for the characters to figure out the clues this is indeed one of the more challenging of the seires for Dan and Amy. Even thought it has only been a few months of time in the story to get to this point I am enjoying how the characters are developing and I eagerly await the next book.

My wife is a children's librarian and it was she who got me turned on to this series by having use listen to the first two or 3 on CD while traveling. I have enjoyed the CD versions but kept up with the series by puchasing the book when it comes out and then donating it to the library once I have completed it.

Being an adult reader of Youth fiction is an interesting spot and I have found it to be quite enjoyable. My wife also enjoys it as she then uses my enjoyment as a reference for here readers of the series.
My son cannot put thee down. They are exciting and spooky without being gross or scary. James Bond meets Inspector Gadget with a dash of Ramona Quimby. The sibling interaction is nice and believable. The "bad" adults aren't too bad. There is a little tiny bit of actual history involved. I would recommend this book and the series. I have been reading them along with my son. They are not Pulitzer prize, but they are entertaining.
