One False Note by Gordon Korman

4.0

Another delightful installation in a book series that can easily be described as "National Treasure for kids." Our protagonists are Amy and Dan, two members of the Cahill family, a clan supposedly so connected that nearly every important historical figure in the world is a member. Which, given how far-reaching the members are, seems like it should logically include EVERYONE on Earth by now, but I digress.

The clan is on a hunt for the secret of the Cahill inheritance, and they are competing against one another with all their tricks. Some of which could prove deadly. This story focuses on Mozart and his equally-talented (but unsung) sister, and drives home how very many people are fighting against Amy and Dan, and how deep the legend of the Cahills goes.

Good fun. No, not historically accurate in its entirety, but this book could spark your young reader to check out some other books on Mozart. Or perhaps just read more of the 39 Clues. Really, it's the reading that's important, and this will get them turning pages!
