A note for parents
This is a middle-grade mystery-adventure with quirky humor and clever puzzles that appeals to curious readers. The story involves kidnapping and some peril, but violence is never graphic and the tone remains lighthearted and whimsical despite mysterious elements. Protagonists show courage, cleverness, and loyalty, making it engaging for adventurous 9- to 14-year-olds, though younger readers might find occasional suspenseful moments slightly unsettling.

From the publisher
Warning: this description has not been authorized by Pseudonymous Bosch. As much as he'd love to sing the praises of his book (he is very vain), he wouldn't want you to hear about his brave 11-year old heroes, Cass and Max-Ernest. Or about how a mysterious box of vials, the Symphony of Smells, sends them on the trail... Warning: this description has not been authorized by Pseudonymous Bosch. As much as he'd love to sing the praises of his book (he is very vain), he wouldn't want you to hear about his brave 11-year old heroes, Cass and Max-Ernest. Or about how a mysterious box of vials, the Symphony of Smells, sends them on the trail of a magician who has vanished under strange (and stinky) circumstances. And he certainly wouldn't want you to know about the hair-raising adventures that follow and the nefarious villains they face. You see, not only is the name of this book secret, the story inside is, too. For it concerns a secret. A Big Secret.
