A note for parents
This is the second book in Pseudonymous Bosch's Secret Series, a whimsical middle-grade adventure with mystery and fantasy elements. The story involves child protagonists confronting villains and magical dangers, but violence is minimal and non-graphic. The tone is humorous and self-aware, making it engaging for readers who enjoy clever, puzzle-like narratives and magical mysteries.

Beware! Dangerous secrets lie between the pages of this book. OK, I warned you.

But if you think I'll give anything away, or tell you that this is the sequel to my first literary endeavor, The Name of This Book is Secret, you're wrong. I'm not going to remind you of how we last left our heroes, Cass and Max-Ernest, as they awaited intiation into the mysterious Terces Society, or the ongoing fight against the evil Dr. L and Ms. Mauvais. I certainly won't be telling you about how the kids stumble upon the Museum of Magic, where they finally meet the amazing Pietro! Oh, blast! I've done it again. Well, at least I didn't tell you about the missing Sound Prism, the nefarious Lord Pharaoh, or the mysterious creature born in a bottle over 500 years ago, the key to the biggest secret of all. I really can't help myself, now can I? Let's face it---if you're reading this, it's too late.
