Message from the dead.
The air seemed to whisper that the past was very much alive...
Beyond the Grave is the fourth book in the first series of The 39 Clues.
Betrayed by their cousins, abandoned by their uncle, and with only the slimmest hint to guide them, fourteen-year-old Amy Cahill and her younger brother, Dan, rush off to Egypt on the hunt for 39 Clues that lead to a source of an unimaginable power. But when they arrive, Amy and Dan get something unexpected - a message from their dead grandmother, Grace. Did Grace set out to help the two orphans... or are Amy and Dan headed for the most devastating betrayal of them all?
Tropes:
- Lampshade Hanging: Amy confidently mentions how easy it will be to find the name of a particular plant that they had just found in Grace's puzzle box. Cut to Amy and Dan in their hotel room, struggling to find one match out of the countless plant descriptions out there, and Dan complaining that Amy tempted fate.
