In this book the author does not tell you his name (he calls himself the Pseudonymous Bosch - I hope you didn't think that is a real person's name), nor does he tell you the name of the book. After some pages you will find that two pages are filled with crosses instead of words! This page contains information about the characters that the author does not want you to know.

The story is about a girl whose pet name is Cassandra (the author won't tell you her real name). She makes friends in school with a boy called Max-Ernest who is quite a weirdo - his parents are divorced but live in one house. His father and mother divided the house down the middle - one side's for the father, the other's for the mother. (No wonder he's a weirdo then!)

The mystery begins when the children find a missing magician's diary. There's a 400-year-old witch who's the main villain. I can't reveal any more of the secrets. In my opinion this is a very unusual and different book - it's very well written and some people may like it as a exciting or scary, but no one can deny that it is a fabulous book - you must read it.
