I'll reiterate what others have said in my library, as I had a boy come in looking for both #5 and #6 just now, I feel the enthusiasm is for the books themselves. The multimedia platform is an added plus for the kids who are into that but not the driving influence. We have the library editions of the books without cards and my mulitple copies of each book are circulating very well with demand growing as the series has gone along-it wasn't a huge hit right away but has built through word of mouth with reluctant and non reluctant readers alike. The different platforms added to the buzz in the media early on and may have put it on parents radar but the books themselves are drawing the fans in.

Interesting, Lisa and others -- but is this buzz about 39 Clues for the books, or the multimedia platform? Do you see kids using the web and technology applications that were branded with this -- or is the enthusiasm simply for the book?
