The 39 Clues Clue 29



You see an aimer aiming at a window. A grappling hook appears, and flies over. The rope straightens, and you zoom over to the window. The camera screen shows the Tomas symbol on the left, the open window in the middle, and the symbol for lead on the right. The lead symbol pops up, and changes into the word LEAD.

About Lead[]

Lead is a metal formerly used in pencils until it was replaced it with graphite, because lead is poisonous. It also lined the box in Storm Warning so that it could not be x-rayed.
