I always feared this day would come. A secret is meant to stay secret, after all. And now we've come to this: the fifth and final (I swear!) book in my saga of secrets.
A class trip to the local natural history museum turns dangerous, or perhaps deadly--and I don't mean in the bored-to-death way--when Cass accidentally breaks a finger off a priceless mummy. Forced to atone...more

You Have to Stop This
By Pseudonymous Bosch
347 pages

This book is about how Cass learns the Secret. Cass is a secret keeper. She must learn the Secret and not let anyone else know about it. But the evil Lord Pharoah wants to learn the Secret before Cass does. In the story, there is a stolen mummy, an evil brother who dies, and some scary dancers. At the end of the book, Cass figures out that the all powerful Secret is just a silly joke. The Secret is Why did the ibis cross the road. The answer...more

The way the P.B. tells it as if heʻd experienced it all (and he did go through it all). The twists & turns were good and interesting.
Ok, Plot Overveiw
The last book was really a good way to tie it all together. We have Cass, M.E. , and Yo-Yoji going on yet another adventure to protect the Secret from the Midnight Sun. Only, this time, itʻs from an invisible Pharaoh. And Cass finds a scroll to learn the Secret and finds a scroll with it written on it. Unfortunately, it turns to dust and she has to translate what she remembers. Itʻs just pure coincidence that the guy who wrote the Secret is mummified and Cass has a ring that can bring him back to life and then the mummy will tell her the secret. But, just when she thinks that she got lucky, Cass and her friends accidentally break the mummies finger off. Then, they are accused of stealing the mummy after it goes missing. The rest of the book is basically Cass trying to learn the Secret and the kids trying to prove their innocence. Thatʻs the basic thing, but a lot of other stuff happens.
There were somethings that I was not expecting.
Like, the romance issue. Ok, in the third book, itʻs shown that Yo-Yoji is being a bit more polite to Cass. But, in this rendition of the book, you can sort of tell that thereʻs something there . Some things are subtle, but others are things that a half-wit could see. Like, on page 51:

Yo-Yoji glanced at Cass. It was almost as if he didnʻt like the idea of someone else givng her a ring

Or when Cass is in a dress and they awkwardly say how "nice" she looks (good nice or bad nice, I have no clue). Or when Cass is secretly sad that her friends denied marrying her (not sure if thatʻs supposed to be sad, sweet, or weird). Or when Cass does some more girly stuff (hormones, I guess), gets her nails done, and they Boys say how nice it looks. Or when Cass & Yo-Yojis pinkies interlock and he can feel a tingly sensation. Those are all I can recall. If you could squint and find others...
Good for you.
Iʻve never thought of the Secret Series as a Romance book (probably because itʻs not). PB probably only did that to get the attention of readers who want a juicy love triangle (if thatʻs what he was going for). I couldʻve done without it, but (I gotta admit) it does stir up some things I didnʻt realize was there.
And Cass leaves her backpack behind. I mean, she wears it though out the entire series and just takes it off. Itʻs like Lord Voldemort with a nose. Maybe is signifies that sheʻs no longer the strange survivalist girl that was looking for poison in the school grounds. Sheʻs changed and grown up since the first book.
And then thereʻs the whole deal with Dr.L. When he came over the first time, of course, I was suspicious. When it was revealed that he died, I didnʻt really cry. I felt bad, but it wasnʻt a book scene strong enough to make me bawl.
Another thing,
When I thought that the Secret was I joke, I wanted to scream "THATS WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT!?!?! A FLIPPING CHICKEN JOKE THATʻS OLDER THAN MY GRANDMOTHER!?!? THIS IS WHAT THE ENITRE SERIES IS BASED OFF!?!?! OR DID PB JUST FORGET ABOUT THE SECRET AT ALL AND MADE THIS UP!?!?!"
Needless to say, I was mad. Then, I read the rest of the book. It sort of made sense, but it took me four or five reads to fully understand. Even now, Iʻm not sure if I fully understand. I believe that the Secret is the other side of things or to see the other side of something or the Secret is on the other side. Iʻm not 100% sure
Last thing,
I WANT MORE!! I want to see what happened to M.E. and Cass and YO-Yoji and the Teres society. I feel like, even though it feels over, thereʻs something more. Well, hopefully, PB might talk about it in one of his later books. Or at least have a little epilogue about it.
All in all, it was a good book. Nothing much to complain about.(less)

Despite what Bosch might write, I don't think too many of us were actually dying to know it (although his humourous ways of representing our thirst for the Secret was amusing). But I do think that anybody who enjoyed the series was still curious. I, myself, thought it'd be something rather ridiculous - say, a mixture of gold and Senor Hugo's chocolate will offer you immortality. That way, we wouldn't have to have any real life comparisons (Senor Hugo's being made with that special tuning fork and gold, uh, rather difficult to obtain), but it'd also be plausible in the fictional story's world.
Alas, it did not go that way! I was extremely pleased with how Bosch tied everything up. I finished the story, walked away from the warmth of my bed (reading all Saturday in bed is going to become a ritual) and muttered, 'He tied that up so well... wow, what a wonderful end,' and just felt extremely... pleasant? Not so much a feeling, but truly - I just felt like it was wonderfully pleasant and my mood matched the light end.
Now, I'm going to get into spoilers here. Some intense ones, very early on: The Secret itself, so beware. (view spoiler)
Fantastic ending. Wonderful laughs throughout the whole book (The Secret Series is the series that I doggy-mark into oblivion with pages that had all sorts of, perhaps irrelevant, but hilarious tidbits and quotes).
Bravo, PB ~ I'm over here applauding.

ALSO: I have just read some reviews now and realised some were upset with the Secret, or unsure as to how they felt about it. Although I loved it, I do have to say that, as a reader of Lemony Snicket's SOUE, I much more easily accept a vague answer. To me, Bosch tied it up as it should've - with a bit of mystery, and with a bit of laughter. Exactly how his series started and and exactly how it ended.(less)

THE secret of life, supposedly, for this series. Was it worth it, you wonder? Well, for me, I'm going to have to say...eh, I guess I was a little put down. I guess behind what it sounds like, it really does have some big meaning. I had a feeling he was going to do something like that..that it wouldn't be some great big secret, but something small, like..a joke.(; I guess it's telling us that the journey of trying to retrieve the secret is what made it so wonderful? I was just a bit confused, and some other matters confused me as well.
Such as, Max-Ernest was supposed to be the one who is writing these books basically, right? It said in the 4th book he was writing them, so then why does Pseudonymous Bosch talk as if Max-Ernest is a completely different person? Like, in one sentence that I just can't seem to forget, he says that it seemed Cass, Yo-Yoji, and Max-Ernest weren't being watched...aside from himself and the reader. Well, isn't HE Max-Ernest? I don't know, it just bugged me a bit.
Also, ARGH. The FOOTNOTES. I felt like this was a history lesson when reading them, and I found myself groaning whenever I saw one. At times they were important to the story, but most were just useless facts, so I would click on all of them (I was using a Kindle) to see if it was something important to the story. In the first book, The Name of this Book is Secret, there were less, er, historical facts than in these last books in the series, or maybe I just didn't mind it much. But it made me upset of the way he would basically interrupt the book saying something like, "The Story of how Pseudonymous Bosch almost drowned in mayonnaise", and I was like...what does this have to do with the book? And he did it multiple times! The footnotes didn't help out, either.
Anyways, I would give this book a 3.5/5 stars. It's not one of those books that I would re-read though, or keep on my bookshelf (only the best of books make the bookshelf). ;)
It also was annoying how he told US to make our own ending. I mean, sure, we're supposed to use imagination, but it just isn't the SAME. Isn't HE the author? Alas, maybe it just annoyed me and not any of you all.
Ah, or how he didn't even tell us who the characters WERE in the end! This entire time we were learning of fake characters, and we'll never know the real characters. Couldn't he at LEAST have said something like, "This entire time, the names were real. You had just been expecting them not to be, which made it more of a secret." Or anything of the sort.
So, now that I noted some negatives of the book, I will list some positives. Such as, well, I love some of the drawings in the series! They were entertaining, to say the least. And the way he writes is pretty creative (though at times COULD be annoying...). I loved seeing the beginning of the book, where he would always write something creative. Like in the first book, all those XXX's. It made me laugh. As for the story itself, it wasn't too bad. For sure it is a children's book, though, as most of it is pretty predictable and it's the sort of story where they're ALWAYS saved in situations, so well...not very realistic. But not a bad story!(less)

There are still plenty of cheeky footnotes, gimmicks, and meta asides, but maybe once or twice per chapter, instead of in every page. Instead, this book is more focused on Cass, Max-Ernest, and Yo-Yoji learning the secret. As for the Secret itself, ((slight spoiler)) it's very philosophical and not some kind of thing like, mix eight parts melted gold with two parts blood of an ibis, etc. It does feel very wrapped up, and not in that I-have-to-tell-you-every-single-thing-that-happened-in-the-characters'-lives-way. Also, curiously, there's not a lot of Ms. Mauvais, the series' villain, other than a flash of blonde.

Cass, Max-Ernest, and Yo-Yoji are taking a field trip to the Egypt/mummy exhibit, when they accidentally break off the finger of a mummy (I've never heard of a mummy exhibit where the mummies weren't behind VERY thick glass, but anyway...). As punishment, they are made to work at the museum helping Albert 3-D (so named for his 3 degrees in archaeology, paleontology, and Egyptology) work with the mummy. On their watch, the mummy goes missing, and they are blamed. The kids set off to find out what happened to the mummy, but they may be set up for a trap...

One thing that I like, but could be perceived as a negative, is that this book isn't really a standalone, like the others in the series are. That is, there is no explanation of who Lord Pharaoh, the Jester, Senor Hugo, or other past characters are, although they are referenced throughout. However, it keeps the book really focused--after all, we have a Secret to uncover!

As far as the series itself, the Secret Series is one of the best middle-grade series I've read recently. It has great kid appeal and a good mix of appealing to smart kids (lots of references to things you'll immediately want to look up like hieroglyphics and supertasters) and reluctant readers (the frenetic energy and snarky humor). Great to read aloud to, say, a sixth-grade class.

I really hate that feeling when you finish reading an entire series. You just feel so broken and lost.

Well, let's start this review.

When I began reading it, I knew I won't be disappointed. And turns out, I wasn't. Or at least wasn't that disappointed. Cass was a bit annoying for me, at the beginning. She was acting like a brat. And she acted selfish when she didn't want Max-Ernest to know about the trunk. Or anything about the Secret.

The four other books had a lot more, but this one lacked a quality the others did. Even though I was anticipating the next event, I wasn't anticipaing it as much as in the four other books.

Cass, Yo-Yoji and Max-Ernest are growing up! They are forming there own opinions, and therefore don't have the same ideas. This makes their quests a bit different, because one of them wants to do one thing, another wants to go there, and another wants to go somewhere else. Sometimes this makes plot twist, and sometimes this makes the story a bit slower. There are times when they spend a lot of time disagreeing on things, and start going off their own way, which is sometimes kind of annoying because the whole point of them going on an adventure is to stick together. They are growing up, and I like to see they are becoming their own people, but it also makes me sad to see that these characters that I love and changing and growing up! But I guess it had to happen sometime...

This book was great, but there wasn't as much action and adventure as I would have liked. I had the impression that the last book in the Secret Series would be this giant explosion of awesomeness! But instead, it seemed kind of toned down and not as exciting as the others. In books 1-4, there was always an exciting moment, and a lot of adventure. They never missed a beat and always kept me on the edge of my seat waiting for the next event! There were moments of adventure in this fifth book, but sometimes there were moments that could've been more upbeat but that were more toned down than I would've hoped.

All in all, this book was great! Even though it wasn't AS exciting as I wanted it to have been, I till enjoyed it!
I'm kind of sad that this series is ending, but I'm sure there will be another series to follow! Great book! (less)

I hope so, because as is true for many of the series I read, the premise wears a bit thin.

The epilouge was great where the author said he wasn't going to write anything about the characters because that would spoil the ending.
