Ok-so in my defense, this book has been living in my car just in case I get somewhere and have an unexpected wait and need something to read. Missed my opportunity to pick up a book on hold at the library before the long weekend, so I grabbed this book. Very cute. I'll have to read the other 4 in the series because that's just how I do books in a series. Considering it for a read-aloud option, but need to take a poll to see how many students have already read it.

"Warning: this description has not been authorized by Pseudonymous Bosch.
As much as he'd love to sing the praises of his book (he is very vain), he wouldn't want you to hear about his brave 11-year old heroes, Cass and Max-Ernest. Or 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. And he certainly wouldn't want you to know about the hair-raising adventures that follow and the nefarious villains they face. You see, not only is the name of this book secret, the story inside is, too. For it concerns a secret. A Big Secret."
