Book Reviews of The Name of this Book Is Secret (The Secret Series)
Book Review: The Name of This Review is Secret
Summary: 5 Stars
Review by Olivia Kovacs
I loved this book! It is the thrilling tale of two unusual kids, Cass, a suvivalist and Max-Earnest, a super talkitive boy with some kind of disorder who has never had a friend. These odd-ball collaborators try to solve the mystery of a missing and possibly murdered magician and become friends.
Out of concern for the readers' safety the author, Pseudonymous Bosch, refuses to identify the exact location of the events. However, the reader does learn alot about Cass and Max-Earnest's middle school, Cass' substitute grandfathers antique-store/firehouse, Max-Earnest's divorced parents' mis-matched duplex, the magicians underground house complete with secret study entered via the bathroom, and an Egyptian-style spa called the Midnight Sun run by the evil but beautiful Ms. Mauvais and her handsome partner Dr. L.
While investigating the magician's disapearance Cass and Max-Earnest find a coded notebook that contains something Ms. Mauvais and Dr. L. are desperate to obtain. Then an odd classmate of Cass and Max-Earnest, award winning artist Benjamin Blake, disapears and Cass, who suspects Benjamin was stolen by Ms. Mauvais, must go to the Midnight Sun to rescue him. But Cass' famous Skelton sister disguise fails to fool Ms. Mauvais and Max-Earnest has to try and save Cass. What happens next will have you anxious to turn the page and wishing the story didn't have to end.
The good news is there are more books in this series!
Book Review: Buy it (and the sequel,too, while you're at it)
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are considering passing this title by, perhaps because you think yourself too old to read about middle school heroes, then you are probably right. If, on the other hand you are the sort of person who thinks you might like this book and that people may be more than they seem- age notwithstanding- then you are probably right, too. If you are the sort of person who considers avoiding this book because you dislike reading sentences which require thought, then that would be just the right plan for you. And if you are the sort of not-yet-adult who isn't quite like the other not-yet-adults on your block (especially if you have pointy ears, emergency survival plans, protective parents, a tendency to talk too much, or lots of knowledge of codes, puzzles, and such) then this is most certainly the right book for you.
Although I introduced it to my middle school Language Arts classes on a whim, this book took off from student to student like wildfire. As an adult reading it, I found it funny and engaging. Even my elementary school kid at home is in love with this story. We all recommend it to you as well worth your time. But be prepared to get the sequel. You'll want it, promise.
Book Review: Hannah Schatz from Lake Tapps"This book is Fantastic"
Summary: 5 Stars
can you imagine going to a secret spa to save someone from being brain washed? Well thats what Cass and Max-Ernest did in this fantastic book.The Name of This Book Is Secret by Pseudonymous Bosch is an extraordinary book that has 360 pages. This book is the most superb book I have ever read. I did not want to put it down. You should really go to the library and check it out.
The Name of This Book Is Secret is about two kids named Cass and Max-Ernest who find a dead magicians diary and they go on a mission to a secret spa called the Midnight Sun to save a kid named Benjamin Blake from being brain washed by the wicked Dr.L and Ms.Mavais.
My favorite part of the book was when Cass and Max-Ernest had to crack a code to get Benjamin Blake out of the spa so he wouldn't get Brain washed. I like this part because there was a lot of action going on.
The most important thing I learned from this book was that two completely different people can team up and get a lot done.
There are two other books in the series this book is book 1 in the series.
If you like Action and mystery books I highly recommend that you go to the library and check this out.
Book Review: Very entertaining
Summary: 5 Stars
"What is not enough for one person, just right for two, and too much for three? A Secret" Two kids who happen upon each other and are both up for a good adventure decide to find out what happened to a magician. It all starts when a real estate agent brings the girl's grandfather some of the magician's things. They have to follow their noses and other clues to piece all the mystery together. I'd love to tell you more... but it's a secret.
This was a really exciting and fun book. Full of laughs and puzzles. Lots of fun asides from the author, which I really enjoy in a book. The author is a mystery just as much as the whole story is. This will be a really short review because there isn't much I can say about this book. It's really fun a good pick for reluctant readers and avid readers alike. If you love adventures and puzzles and mysteries check out this book.
First Line:
"WARNING: DO NOT READ BEYOND THIS PAGE!"
Favorite Line:
"It was like walking into a treasure trove of books, hoarded by pirate librarians."
Book Review: I like that it's different then every other book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I picked this book up at Barnes and Noble thinking I'd give it a shot. However you spell the authors' name did a great job! As my title stated that I like this because it's different refers to this:
-It has a unique different story that blends into a well-made myserty
- Has Footnotes
- Has a different feel to it, such as the narrator an unknown guy who tells the story of Max-Ernest and Cassandra(a.k.a. CASS)
I liked this book well enough to want to read book 2, as a SPOILER Here: IT does end, but you can tell that the story will continue, so If you liked this book well enough I'd advise you to Read book 2 Called "IF YOU ARE READING THIS IT'S TOO LATE".
Well written book by Pysoddeous(however you speel it, I don't remember) Bosch, for who from now on I will call Mr Bosch:)
Hope you find this helpful and I hope you enjoy the book as much as I did!
