this book is fantastic and it is great for kids that are funny and odd like me. this book is good for kids 10 and up. a magician who gets killed in a fire , kids whom lie to their parents. I loved this book, from beginning to end; it has constant suspense and leaves you on cliffhangers at the end of chapters causing quite a few late nights/early mornings because it is very hard to put down once you begin. This book isn’t quite aimed at my age group (young adult) but I still enjoyed the story and plotline. Cassandra", given a pseudonym by the narrator, is an eleven-year-old survivalist. One day, at her grandfathers' antique store, the Fire Sale, a real estate agent named Gloria Fortune leaves a box labeled "The Symphony of Smells", which she brings to school the next day. That day, while she investigates a dead rat in her schoolyard, she meets "Max-Ernest", who talks too much, loves jokes, and has divorced parents. Max-Ernest tries out one of his jokes on Cass, who tells him that his joke doesn't make sense, thus fostering a conversation between the two. Cass shows Max-Ernest the Symphony of Smells, and they decode a message for help hidden inside it. Cass and Max-Ernest come to the decision to visit the dead magician's house to find out why he needed help. Now collaborators, Cass and Max-Ernest go to investigate the dead magician's house and find the magician's mysterious journal hidden in his secret study. However, Gloria comes in with a young couple, Ms. Mauvais and Dr. L., looking for a house. It becomes evident that they are looking for the magician's journal. When they are spotted leaving with it, they are forced to flee. Owen is introduced as Cass's personal butler when she is taken to the Midnight Sun. When they first meet, he has a strong stutter and appears to be shy but friendly. However, he is revealed to be a spy for the Terces society who helps Cass and Max-Ernest escape the Midnight Sun with Benjamin Blake. Owen's most notable characteristic is his predilection for disguises, for which he can drastically alter his appearance and speaking voice.

Get started Close I also found it strange that some of the illustrations didn't match up with the descriptions. One I remember off the top of my head was the picture of the real estate agent's sign which described the woman having a toothy grin. In the illustration her mouth was closed. Why bother with illustrations if they aren't going to match the story? That was very weird, and also lazy.

The Name of This Book Is Secret (The Secret Series)

VIOLENCE: the midnight sun is basically a cult and tries to take out the brain of a young boy but they fail. in the second book a character dies but no blood. the worst thing that happens is in the fifth book, where a character has his finger cut off and at that scene there is some blood. some violent threats from the antagonists. Now watch this: I’ve come up with a very novel way of hiding the street name. I’m going to leave it blank.)

Se qualcuno mi dicesse: "Ho letto un libro con un personaggio simile a Harry Bosch -cosa che credo sia impossibile, ma dettagli!-", io lo leggerei subito senza se e senza ma :DD) In 2013, the series was followed by Write This Book: A Do-It-Yourself Mystery. While not directly a part of the Secret Series, it directly references several characters and situations from it. The girl named Cassandra was a very interesting character; always prepared for any kind of weather. Hilariously Abusive Childhood: Although his parents are well-intentioned, poor Max-Ernest has an unusual childhood to say the least. Both of his parents are absolutely certain that he or she is right, and the other is well-intentioned, but misguided. When Max-Ernest was born, they argued for several days about whether to name him "Max" or "Ernest". This argument lasted so long that the nurse threatened to put him up for adoption, name or no name. They then compromised, and then divorced. But they both still live in the same house, since the one thing they can agree on is that every child should be raised by both his parents. So they split the house in half and pretend the other half doesn't exist. The way author tells the story is also funny. Throughout the book he uses as "fun tone" and always leaves some side comments here and there about the main characters. Also you will find that there are some kind of footnotes and appendix the helps the story and provides additional information towards some topics.
