Yin, Maryann (April 17, 2012). "Pseudonymous Bosch Lands Deal with Dial Books for Young Readers". GalleyCat/Mediabistro. Archived from the original on May 26, 2012 . Retrieved May 24, 2012. A mysterious tale that's just right for kids. The tone is spooky but light-handed, and really gets kids in the atmosphere of a Big Secret. It also encourages their patience by dripping out the plot slowly while keeping them rapt with descriptions of kids and places and things. If you're reading this to them, don't be surprised if they interrupt you a lot to throw out their own ideas.This is an amazing book it talks to you a lot in the start and has a nice mystery theme to it. If you are interested in detective stories you should read this. After looking through some spa brochures collected by her mother, Cass locates a spa called the Midnight Sun Spa & Sensorium and decides to pose as one of the Skelton Sisters, a pair of twin pop singers. After being driven to the spa, Cass meets Owen, her stuttering butler. After being subject to several spa treatments, Cass goes looking for Benjamin Blake, only to end up in Ms. Mauvais' office, where Ms. Mauvais tells her that there will be a surprise guest coming for dinner. The surprise guest is none other than Max-Ernest, who came to save Cass. Ms. Mauvais demands to be given the magician's journal, and in the commotion that takes place, her glove is ripped off, revealing an ancient-looking hand. Cass and Max-Ernest realize that all of the Midnight Sun members are extremely old, as they are alchemists on a search for the Secret, which they believe will give them immortality. They also deduce that Dr. L is really Luciano, Pietro's long-lost brother. Before we do, I suggest you take a break. If you need to go to the bathroom, this is a good time. If you're sleepy, go to bed and save the next chapter for tomorrow. For the magician's story, you must have all your wits about you. No wandering minds allowed.” I was disappointed by this book. A lot of people compare this to A Series of Unfortunate Events, and although I haven't read those books (yes, I know I should) (I've read the first three of them now so I have a better understanding of how the books compare) and I have also seen the movie and I appreciate its darker, twisted humor. This book though, was annoying.
