5.0 out of 5 stars Tremendous, 27 Mar 2009
By Steven R. McEvoy "MCWPP" (Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Much as book 1, Maze of Bones, focused on the life and times of Benjamin Franklin, book 2, One False Note, focuses on Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his sister Nannerl. Continuing almost immediately after book one, the pace of this one is much quicker. Moving from Paris to Vienna, the Cahill kids, Dan, Amy and their chaperon are ambushed by the big burly Holt clan. Narrowly escaping them, the dangers from other family members only intensifies. With more bombs, boat crashes, and run-ins with everyone from their aunts, uncles and cousins to Benedictine monks, this book is one wild chase scene.

The adventures in this book take our trio from Paris to Vienna then onto Salzburg then finally Venice. This book not only has a faster pace than book one, but also more dialogue. Some of that may be due to the writing style of the different authors, and some the point in the story arch and plot development. Gordon Korman does an excellent job continuing from the story started by Rick Riordan in Book 1.The transition is almost effortless. The feel is slightly different but the story continues to flow well.

It is interesting reading a series of 10 books with seven different authors, in part because we do not know how much freedom each author has. Do they write their section and hand it off and the next author has to create from there, or is there an overarching story arc already sketched out and the authors are composing the different scenes as movements in a musical piece? Either way this book is excellent and like the first leaves the reader hungry for more. I cannot honestly remember the last time I read a series that was so addictive. I picked up the next book immediately and dread when I will have to await the next release. All in all an excellent book in what is shaping up to be a great series.

5.0 out of 5 stars One False Note, 17 Jan 2009
By Tami Brady "Whole Health Therapist" (Calgary, Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Amy and Dan Cahill are back in the second exciting installment of The 39 Clues series. In the first book, the siblings are drawn into an exciting and often extremely dangerous hunt to find 39 clues. Following various leads, the kids travel all over the world to uncover hidden meanings and break secret codes. Together these clues will lead to extremely powerful secret knowledge.

After following the first clue, Amy and Dan are in search of information about another famous Cahill relative, Mozart. The kids also learn some very interesting information about Mozart's talented but virtually unknown sister. Onward to Vienna where the kids will uncover another piece of the puzzle. As always, danger, conspiracy, and relatives competing for the prize are just around the corner.

Read the book. Then, be sure to go online to the 39 Clues website. Even more games, puzzles, and clues are available.

5.0 out of 5 stars Courtesy of Teens Read Too, 10 Jan 2009
By TeensReadToo "Eat. Drink. Read. Be Merrier." (All Over the US & Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
Amy and Dan barely escaped with their lives in the French catacombs. Now, they're on their way to learn more about Mozart.

They're not alone in tracking down the 39 clues, but is someone tracking their movements?

From the train ride out of France to the escape from Venice, Amy and Dan face danger again and again. They're not above stealing clues from other Cahills, breaking into hotel rooms, distracting store clerks in order to search their store, and entering the Janus branch's secret underground hideout.

The trail for Mozart leads them through Germany, Austria, and Italy - and all countries lead them into danger. They're determined to play; after all, their life depends on finding the clues first.

A great second riveting adventure in THE 39 CLUES series will leave readers anxious for Amy and Dan while rooting for them all the way.
