Quote #1

Grace had shown [Amy] a hand-drawn map of Africa and told her stories about the adventures she'd had when she was a young explorer. (3.9)

The clue hunt is an inheritance of a different kind. Instead of money, it allows Grace to pass on her knowledge and experience of the world to her heirs. Of course, we're not sure they've realized it yet. They seem in it more for the power.

Quote #2

Could the treasure be a lost Egyptian tomb.... or pirates' gold? (3.43)

Amy's imagination goes wild early on in the clue hunt, wondering where the adventure around the world will take her. She probably gets these ideas from all those books she's always reading.

Quote #3

Amy's curiosity is a big asset on the hunt. Her love for mysteries and puzzles comes in handy during all the library research they have to do, which is a task that Dan finds tedious, like most other eleven year old boys.
