If You're Reading This, It's Too Late

“Beware! Dangerous secrets lie between the pages of this book. OK, I warned you. But if you think I’ll give anything away, or tell you that this is the sequel to my first literary endeavor, The Name of This Book is Secret, you’re wrong. I’m not going to remind you of how we last left our heroes, Cass and Max-Ernest, as they awaited initiation into the mysterious Terces Society, or the ongoing fight against the evil Dr. L and Ms. Mauvais, or how the kids stumble upon the Museum of Magic! Oh, blast! I’ve done it again. Well, at least I didn't tell you about the creature born in a bottle over 500 years ago. I really can’t help myself, now can I. Let’s face it—if you’re reading this, it’s too late.”— Pseudonymous Bosch (Ages 9-12)

Follow-up to the Edgar Award-nominated The Name of This Book is Secret!

“I'm sorry—I can't do it. I can't write this book. I'm far too frightened. Not for myself, you understand. As ruthless as they are, Dr. L and Ms. Mauvais will never find me where I am. (You recognized that insidious duo, didn't you—by their gloves?)
No, it's for you I fear.
I had hoped the contract would protect you, but now that I look the matter square in the face—it's just not enough.
What if, say, the wrong people saw you reading this book? They might not believe your claims of innocence. That you really know nothing about the Secret.”—from If You're Reading This, It's Too Late
