Book #1: The Name of This Book Is: Secret
So the first book, unveils the story of the meeting between soon-to-be best friends and each other's first friend, Cassandra, Cass for short, and Max-Ernest (yes he has two names, because his parents can't choose inbetween). The name Cass and Max-Ernest is not their real names (according to the beloved author of this book). Cass has long pointy unforgettable ears, and Max-Ernest is an average looking boy with too many allergies a person could handle (but well he could, but that's not really the point). Anyway, these two best friends begin an unmistakably remarkable adventure on finding The Secret, saving a friend from danger, discovering an evil organization and the organization that would bring their lives to more danger, and finding a secret society called The Terces Society.
Book #2: If You're Reading This It's Too Late
The second book told the story of Cass and Max-Ernest taking a long journey to find their biggest enemy's (that's Lord Pharaoh to y'all) own creature, a homunculus. Really, you won't understand a word i am saying if you haven't read the book yet. so you have to! anyway, they went through a long journey to find Mr. Cabbage Face (yes that's the name of the homunculus). It involves a new friend (and also a member of the Terces society, although they didn't know it yet) that's moved back from Japan, Yo-Yoji, more stories about the ancient Lord Pharaoh and his grave, more on the evil organization the Midnight Sun, and so on.
Book #3: This Book Is Not Good For You
The third book in the peculiar series is all about CHOCOLATE! yes of course, the author's personal favorite. Cass's mother is kidnapped by a chocolate monsieur (also a chef as a cover to his true identity) and she needs to find her. With the help of her friends Max-Ernest and Yo-Yoji, the 3 friends successfully located where the evildoers and Cass's mother are. Involves a long thrilling ride through a big zoo, mocachins (the white monkeys you probably have not seen) and chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. Also more on the secret and Cass's ancestors.
Book #4: This Isn't What It looks Like
the fourth utterly un-exciting book reveals on Cass's time travel to the past of her ancestor, descendant of the royal renaissance jester. her uneventful meeting with Lord Pharoh himself, in ghost form and real form (whilst she's the ghost when she meets lord pharaoh in real form), how those evil green eyes startled her at first sight. Her encounter with a seer named Cassandra/Clara. Her talks with The Jester and his soon-to-be wife. a chocolate that brought disasters. a lodestone. magnets. a double monocle.
Meanwhile Cass's frist ever friend, Max-Ernest, is having trouble with his parents, who's expecting his baby brother (and soon to be called, Paul-Clay, or PC). His encounter with Benjamin Blake THE FRIEND, that he and cass saved in the first book. Mind-reading, Mind-reading objects, and mind-readers. Dealing with Cass's 2 weeks coma (while she travels to the past). The discovery of the many allergies that he didn't have in the first place, one of the allergy to chocolate, which now made him a chocolate-addict, like our fellow little friend, the author of this book. And the comeback of Yo-Yoji after a month-long trip back to Japan.
All in all, in the end, lord pharaoh, the jester, an old trunk that has traveled the world for 500 years, a tragic end to a Renaissance Fair, a school secretary in disguise, and all that you have to read in the fourth book of this outrageous series.
