I read a book recently and it’s really good and I think you all should read it so I’m going to write a book review to make you want to read it!

Title: The name of this book is secret. (I’m serious thats what it’s called!)

Author: Pseudonymous Bosch

Blurb: This is the story of a secret

A secret so big and dangerous thats even the story it self is a secret. (Well not anymore thanks to me!) To find out what it is, you have to risk everything…

Self-described survivalist Cass sees potential disaster everywhere so no one believes her when a class mate is kidnapped by the dazzling but dangerous Dr L and Ms Mauvais. No one except super talkative misfit Max- Ernest. Cass and Max-Ernest team up to solve the mystery of the magicians notebook and the symphony of smells, discover a secret to the lost ages, and rescue their classmate before his brain is sucked out through a straw. Along the way they must solve puzzles and word games and face incredible danger.

Good. Now I can trust you. You’re curious. You’re brave. And you’re not afraid to lead a life of crime. But lets get soomething straight: if, despite my warning, you insist on reading my book, you can’t hold me responsible for the consequences. And, make no bones about it, this is a very dangerous book. No it won’t blow up in your face. Or bite your head off. Or tear you limb from limb. It probably won’t injure you at all. Unless somebody throws it at you, which is a possibility that should never be discounted. Generally speaking, books don’t cause much harm. Except when you read them that is. Then they cause all kinds of problems. Books can, for example, give you ideas. I don’t know if you’ve ever had an idea before, but, if you have, you know how much trouble an idea can gte into you. Books can also provoke emotions. And emotions sometime are even more troublesome than ideas. Emotions have led people people to do all sorts of things they later regret - like oh, throwing a book at someone else. But the main reason this book is so dangerous s that it concerns a secret a BIG secret. It’s funny the way secrets work. I f you don’t know about a secret, it doesn’t bother you. You go abou your business without a care in the world. La la la you sing. Everythings fine and dandy. (Maybe you don’t actually sing La la la but you know what I mean.) But as soon as you here about the secret, it starts to nag at you. What is tthis secret? ypou wonder. Why am I not supposed to know about it? Why is it so important? Suddenly you’re dying to know what the secret is.You beg. You plead. You threaten. You cajole. You promise never to tell anyone else. You try anything and everything. You dig into the secret keepers belongings. You pull his or her own hair. And when that doesn’t work, you pull your own. Not knowing a secret is just about the worst thing in the world. No I can think of one thing worse.

Knowing a secret.
