The Name of This Book Is Secret

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Gilbert Ford. A Lemony Snicket–style warning begins the book: "Do not read beyond this page." What follows is the quest of eleven-year-olds Cassandra and Max-Ernest to solve the disappearance of an eccentric magician. Scattered with word games and codes, this book will delight kids who love challenges, despite its self-conscious quirkiness and an ending that doesn't quite fulfill the promise of its built-up beginning.
