The Name of This Book Is Secret
Two children calling themselves Cass and Max-Ernest are recruited into a mystery involving a missing magician, a dangerous box, and a secret society. The narrating author interrupts constantly, warning readers about the risks of continuing while the clues become more intriguing. Friendship develops through skepticism, courage, and a willingness to investigate adults who lie. Playful and suspenseful, this book is made for young puzzle-solvers who enjoy metafiction, coded messages, and conspiracies.
