Wow, what a great read. This has it all. Some of the books shy away from the “solving clues” and don’t add depth to characters, but in Storm Warning, Park does both, Amy and Dan solve clues, and one we get a lot of depth in the characters. It was a nice and refreshing touch.
The trio (Nellie, Dan and Amy) head to to the Caribbean to follow up on clues. It has the usual danger that’s surrounds the clues, but there’s also danger from the other racers. As if that’s not enough, Amy and Dan has to deal with the consequences of something they do, and the fallout it leads to. They do learn a lot about their past and what happened to their parents. All of this weighs down on them as they have to solve the puzzles. With all of this going on, they have to deal with someone they only know as “The Man in Black.”
I like the part about The Man in Black. He was introduced early on in the series, but we were never told who he really was. Well, in Storm Warning, we find out who he is and how he is involved with The 39 Clues.
Another strength this book has is that we get a lot of Nellie. We find out who she really is and the part she plays in the lives of Amy and Dan. This part really adds a lot to the story. I was glad that Park took the time to develop Nellie It was a very nice touch. There’s more to Nellie than meets the eye.
I was also glad to see how Park handled the characters of Dan and Amy. Usually authors in this series makes Dan a whiny twerp who I can’t stand. Not so in this case. Park did a fantastic job with Amy and Dan.
Storm Warning has it all, great plots, fantastic plot twists, and wonderful characters. If you’ve read all the books in The 39 Clues up to now, you’ll want to read this one. It’s a keeper.

I have to say this book has to be probably the best one out of all nine that have been written.
In this classic story following the The Emporer’s Code, depth, tension, and spice are added to the story.
Park brings Amy, Dan, and now Nellie’s thought and opinions to the surface with more passion and elaboration. Amy, one who always seems so shy, shows her tough side more when she refuses to give Nellie any information about the hunt after the plane ride. She just simply refuses. Dan, who was shown as scrawny, obnoxious, and won’t back down without a fight, is shown now with the same ammount of obnoxiousness has proved not to be scrawny and as demanding as every author portrayed him as. In fact he’s more soft than we realized. Finally, Nellie tops the book off with a bang. Being always so suspicious of by the au pairees, she spills a little too much and now Amy can’t even talk to her. But then she shows that she has links to the family and proves to be a vital asset to the hunt.
Park finishes the story with an even bigger bang with the identity I found easy to figure out, but my friends were clueless about it, of the Madrigals and the Man in black or should I say Man in Gray.
Sadly though she left me hanging for the next and final book that is to come out in August.
Park, well done.
