In this sequel to The Name of This Book Is Secret, tenacious Cass and Max-Ernest, working for the secret Terces Society, are searching for the homunculus, a five-hundred-year-old man in a bottle. Embedded in the often humorous text are interactive codes and puzzles. Fans of mystery and adventure will find this playful story, its villains, and its well-paced plot engaging.
