Kickstart the new year right by reading something fictionally intriguing! The Name of This Book Is Secret is a secret story about a storied secret where it all begins, it's the first book off of The Secret Series, a pentalogy of novels all about one secret based on the five senses: Sight, Smell, Sound, Taste, and Touch written by an anonymous author.
Frequently during the course of the book, Pseudonymous Bosch chastises himself for writing the secret, going so far as to change his mind and stop halfway through, only to bribe himself into completing the story with chocolate.

When a real-estate agent for the deceased, named Gloria, finds a mysterious box called, "The Symphony of Smells," in a dead magician's house, she gives it to Cass and her grandfathers. Cass is a misfit in her school until she meets another misfit, Max-Ernest, who talks too much and has divorced parents but are still living in the same house.
The Name of this Book is Secret chronicles the hair-raising adventures of two 11-year-old heroes as they soon become collaborators and investigate nefarious villains alongside the mysterious death of Pietro Bergamo who has vanished under strange (and stinky) circumstances.
A sequel was published in late 2008, under the name If You're Reading This, It's Too Late. A third book was released on September 1, 2009, with the title This Book Is Not Good for You. A fourth book, This Isn't What It Looks Like, was released on August 21, 2010. A fifth book titled You Have to Stop This was released on September 20, 2011.
Recommended by teachers and librarians alike, you'll surely enjoy this funny read, even the vocabulary and wordplay scattered throughout the book is uncommon and definitely interesting especially if you like Lemony Snicket or Monty Python.
