One False Note, Book 2 of The 39 Clues Series
Gordon Korman
Children Ages 8-12
Amy and Dan Cahill have already survived the maze of bones, but that was only the first leg of their journey searching for the 39 clues. As they reevaluate all they have been through over the past weeks, they realize that the next step on their journey is to follow in the footsteps of one of their distant great, great, great cousins–Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Can Amy and Dan find the clues Mozart left in Austria and Italy before someone else steals them?
Questions Just for Fun
If you were Dan or Amy, which opposing team would you find most intimidating and why?
What was your favorite fact you learned about Mozart?
Questions to Think Critically and Biblically
Before they break into Jonah Wizard’s hotel room to steal the diary, Amy justifies their actions by saying, “I know stealing is wrong, but this contest is too huge for us to worry about being the good guys–a chance to influence human history, to change the world!” According to the biblical worldview, does stealing become okay if someone does the stealing for a “good reason”?
Discussion Guide - Read Exodus 20:1-17. Discuss how right and wrong stem from God’s character. Stealing is always an affront to God’s character, no matter the motivation or end goal.
This book mostly focused on Cahill members from the Janus branch, all of whom were very creative. According to the biblical worldview, why are humans creative? (Why do we create literature, music, art, dance, etc.?)
Discussion Guide - Read Genesis 1:26-28. Discuss how humans are created in God’s image–we reflect Him to the world around us. Because God is a God who creates, as His image-bearers, He designed us to create as well.
As Dan and Amy search for the next clue, they are driven by a desire to find out who they really are. Most humans have this desire. How is finding your identity as God’s image bearer and His child through adoption (Romans 8:15) different than searching for your identity in the things you are good at, the things you like, the place you live, the clothes you wear, etc.?
Discussion Guide - Discuss how our true identity as image-bearers and children of God is unshakable. Nothing can change this identity. All other things we claim as our identity can be taken from us.
