If this were a normal cover for a normal book, I would tell you that this book is fantastic! Gripping! (According to their covers, all books are fantastic and gripping.) You'd meet the brave young heroes, Cass and Max-Ernest.* And you'd hear 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. If this were a normal book, I would brag about the hair-raising adventures that follow--about the brain-twisting riddles Cass and Max-Ernest solve and the nefarious villains they face. But, sadly, I can't tell you about any of those things; they might make you want to listen to the book. You see, not only is the name of this book secret, the story is, too. For it concerns a secret--a big secret--that has been tormenting people like you for over . . . oh no! Did I just mention the Secret? Then it's too late. I'm afraid nothing will stop you now. Listen to the book if you must. But, please, tell no one. With apologies, Pseud. Bosch * Not their real names.
