The Name of This Book is Secret

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. So, the story is about this girl who's pet name is Cassandra (the author won't tell you her real name), then she makes a friend in school called Max-Ernest. He's 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. The mystery begins when the children find a missing magician's diary. There's then a 400 year old witch whose the main Villain. I can't reveal anymore of the books secrets. By my opinion it is a very unusual and different book - a very well written book 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.
