This book had a fantastic narrative style. I loved the way the author played with conventions of storytelling and played around with the fourth wall. This is one of those children's books that's fun for adults to read, too. We had a blast reading it out loud. Highly recommended for family story ...

This was a absolutely hilarious book! This book reminds me quite a bit of Lemony Snicket's - Unfortunate Events and of Trenton Lee Stewart's - Benedict Society books.

“WARNING:DO NOT READ BEYOND THIS PAGE!” Great start to a book, isn't it? Very [a:Lemony Snicket|36746|Lemony Snicket|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1199734355p2/36746.jpg].

This book is was created for a middle school audience, but the riddles and mysteries in this series can be enjoyed by any YA lover. *WARNING* The only thing worse than not knowing a secret is knowing a secret. Cass and Max are unlikely friends, but they both have one thing in co...

The most unusual part of this book is the narrator, and that narrator is both the book's strength and its weakness. The unnamed narrator (presumably Psudonymous himself) is a reluctant (and compulsive) one. He knows he should not tell you the story, but the trouble is, he just can't keep a secret. T...
