The Name of This Book Is Secret (Secret, #1)
Pseudonymous Bosch
Warning: this description has not been authorized by Pseudonymous Bosch. As much as he'd love to sing the praises of his book (he is very vain), he wouldn't want you to hear about his brave 11-year old heroes, Cass and Max-Ernest. Or 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. And he certainly wouldn't want you to know about the hair-raising adventures that follow and the nefarious villains they face. You see, not only is the name of this book secret, the story inside is, too. For it concerns a secret. A Big Secret.
What are people's thoughts on how synesthesia was portrayed in this book? Light spoilers ahead!! Unfortunately, it felt like much more of an odd quirk for the characters, rather than something that was fully thought-out to me. :/ It seemed to perpetuate some stereotypes about the condition that I don't think are true, like that Pietro and Luciano would see the same colors for letters. I also cringed at the point where Dr. L said that Benjamin was similar to a baby because of his synesthesia, that was a poor choice by bosch imo.
