I'm not trying to hide anything, that really is the name of the book. It's book one in the "Secrets" series and it's a lot of fun. It begins with "WARNING: Do not read beyond this page!" What follows is a mystery/comedy/adventure story about a girl named Cassandra, her "friend" Max-Ernest, her eccentric substitute grandfathers, the mysterious possessions of a missing magician, a pair of creepy villains, and a spa called the Midnight Sun. What makes this story different from other juvenile mysteries is the interjection of comments and footnotes by the book's narrator. These vary from hints about what is about to happen in the story to historical facts about Isaac Newton and Benito Mussolini. I understand why this is a popular series with kids.
