Have you ever been so afraid that you thought you were going to pee in your pants?That's how 11-year-old Lucy and 8-year-old Jack felt when they used the Skeleton Key on the front door of their home and stepped into another place, across the earth.
As keepers of the Skeleton Key, they have been chosen by the Organization to go around the world and solve mysteries and crimes against humanity. Because Lucy and Jack are kids, they can do things and go places adults can't.
In Clues to the Chalice, the first novel in the sweeping Skeleton Key Keeper series, they are asked by their Great Uncle Harrison, a super agent in the Organization, to use the Skeleton Key to help save the Holy Chalice of Christ-the cup used by Jesus at the Last Supper-from an evil man. That wicked man wants to use the cup's "power" to take over the world. The kids are their great uncle's only hope to save the ancient artifact...and soon, him.
But that means they have to use the finicky key and walk through one door and out another someplace far away. Lucy, who wants to be a journalist and is very athletic, is open to the idea. Jack isn't so sure. He loves historical and adventure computer games, but he doesn't want to be in one, especially one that is so dangerous. He's scared.
Will they help their great uncle and become the super sleuths the Organization, their great uncle and the world needs them to be?
