"If You're Reading This, It's Too Late" by Pseudonymous Bosch, continues the brilliant and exciting story of the 'always' prepared Cassandra and the odd but entertaining Max-Ernest on their quest to help the Tecres society. New characters are also introduced like the "new kid from Japan", Yo-Yoji...
In the third book "This Book Is Not Good For You", Cassandra and Max-Ernest face another difficult, yet exciting new adventure. As far as I am in this wonderful series, this book, by far has the most action. The book includes a kidnapping, chocolate, and more characters with unique abilities. Thi...
In this fourth installment of the secret series, Cass and Max-Earnest are separated by time and place... in a way. Cass is stuck in the past searching for The Secret, but she's also in a coma in the present, and it's Max-Earnest's job to save her. For whatever reason, though, he can't.I read the ...
Where do I begin?We're at the end of the series, and Cass finally knows the secret.... sort of. More like she saw it for a second in a dead language, only half remembers what was written, and doesn't understand the little she can translate. Naturally, then, the book chronicles her attempt to lear...
In my opinion i really liked this book in addition to the series.I love the new character addition-Yo-Yoji and enjoyed following their adventures.I disliked the way the described the Jester.I also liked the new item at which everyone was fighting for.I would recommend this book to loves of the fi...
The ending was both unexpected and predictable at the same time, as contradictory as that may seem. I had always known that the secret wouldn't be directly stated, and that it would leave us some sort of cliff hanger at the end. But I was pleasantly surprised at the way that this was carried out,...
I bought The Secret Series because of its author. I mean, who DOESN'T want to read books by someone called Pseudonymous Bosch? These books are for kids. I think an advanced 7-year-old could read these, but he/she might need some help with the more uncommon words. They appear to be aimed at th...
The Secret Series is one of my all-time favorites. But I feel that Bosch's later work (this book and Bad Magic) doesn't quite live up to The Secret Series. I can't give this less than three stars as Bosch is one of my favorite authors. It's great if you like writing stories. I enjoy writing, but ...
'Bad Magic' would likely go over well for your 8-12 year old. The main character Clay is a skateboarder whose well-meaning parents send him off to a summer camp for problem children after Clay is accused of putting graffiti on his school. Forget that Clay is innocent, forget that little is know...
But she made an exception for Max-Ernest because he seemed so knowledgeable about toxic waste. By the time they returned to the soccer field with the laboratory gloves, Cass had told him all about the dead magician, the dead mouse, and the mysterious sulfur smell. Max-Erne...
