The Name of This Book Is Secret
[Secret Series #1] By: Pseudonymous Bosch 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. A book that is equal parts supernatural whodunit and suspense-filled adventure is sure to appeal to readers who not only like a good mystery, but a bit of fun too!

Osborne does an excellent job of intertwining details of daily life during the period with the story of the early years of the "King of Jazz." Osborne. The story not only entertains, it teaches about the young life of Louis Armstrong and how his career as a trumpet player began with is early gigs aboard the Mississippi Steamboats. The addition of real ghosts in the story keeps young readers on the edge of their seat while simultaneously sharing a truly fascinating time in history.
