Publisher Description

Dear Listeners,

If this were a normal description for a normal audiobook, I would tell you that this story is fantastic! Gripping! (According to their blurbs, all books are fantastic and gripping.) You'd meet the brave young heroes, Cass and Max Ernest*. And you'd hear about how a mysterious box of vials, the symphony of smells, sends them on the trail of a magician who has vanished under strange (and Stinky) circumstances.

If this were a normal audiobook, I would brag about the hair-raising adventures that follow - about the brain-twisting riddles Cass and Max Ernest solve and the nefarious villains they face. But, sadly, I can't tell you about any of those things: they might make you want to listen to the book.

You see, not only is the name of this book secret, the story is, too. For it concerns a secret - a big secret -that has been tormenting people like you for over...oh no! Did I just mention the Secret? Then it's too late.

I'm afraid nothing will stop you now. Listen to the book if you must. But, please, tell no one.

With apologies,

Pseud. Bosch

    " This was a fun read-aloud. The narrator's intrusions, which might've been annoying had I been reading to myself, were entertaining when I could use them to pique my daughter's suspense. (It might've helped, too, that we read intermittently, rather than every day.) I loved the use of synesthesia, though I suspect its representation here was tweaked for plot purposes. I also appreciated that the material sometimes posed an intellectual stretch for my 8-yr-old, without venturing into "mature" subject matter. She would probably give it 5+ stars. "

    " I agree with a lot of the reviews...written in a style very similar to Lemony Snickett... use of dark sort of humour in the narration. Not the most intelligent mystery story line I have ever read, but it was simple enough for kids to understand. I would recommend it to my students that like the Series of Unfortunate Events books...

    " I immediately thought of lemony snicket when I read this story; the way the narrator talks to the reader, the use of words, the secrecy, etc. I know many of my 5th graders have loved this story, I thought it was okay. I will continue with this series just so I can talk to them about the books. "

Rumors of Boschian sightings are just as frequent and about as reliable as reports of alien abductions. If you ever meet anyone claiming to be Pseudonymous himself he is almost certainly an impostor. The real Pseudonymous is said currently to be hiding in a cave in a remote jungle (although there are contrary reports that he is somewhere in Greenland).
