This Entry is Secret -- Don't Read It!!

I finished The Name of This Book is Secret by Pseudonymous Bosch and while I would like to tell you about it, I was instructed by the author not to do so. (I will tell you a few things if you promise to keep them secret.) The main characters are Cassandra (Cass for short) and Max-Ernest, though I don't think those are their real names, just the ones picked by the author for story-telling purposes. Cass always carries a backpack with her, filled with survival gear, as she worries that disaster is just around the corner. Max-Ernest is small for his age, hyper, and always telling jokes, though not many people find them funny. That's all I can tell you, though, so you won't recognize them if you happen to see them around town -- or even in our school!
I don't know when or where the story takes place, either; it's another one of the many secrets you'll find in this book. But I do know that I enjoyed unraveling the mystery of the missing magician along with Cass and Max-Ernest and was amazed at their courage in the face of villains and dangerous situations. I recommend these books to all mystery-lovers and all fans of Lemony Snicket books. The authors have a similar writing style that I think you will enjoy.
This book is the first in a series of five; I realized that our library only has the first three, so I've added the others to my next book order.
Enjoy this book -- but don't tell anyone!!
