This series is really cool. I read the first one and loved it! I honestly didn't like the second one, but my mom got me the third so I just decided to read it. I really liked this one. Can't wait to get This Isn't What It Looks Like!!!

i am very much enjoying this series!! thank you to Ferlyn Garcia for lending me her books, you are a true angel my dear.

this is such a wonderful children's series full of quite mature undertones, real adventure, and heartwarming friendship. I love the world it's building up.

I only hope that the author resolves it satisfyingly.

Reread

I liked the part where the villains tricked the kids. It showed that while the kids are exceptional and clever, they're also still just kids---you know, stupid and gullible. It made their ultimate victory less ridiculous, even though pretty much everything in these books is ridiculous.

Hilarious.

This book really went into the background of the character of Cass, we leaned more about her feeling about the big reveal from the previous book. It was suspenseful and I loved chapters 30/31, they were cleverly written.

I LOVE this series because it is so dang funny and snarky and sarcastic. Cass, Yo-Yogi and Max-Ernest have to find a tuning fork after Cass's mom gets kidnapped by the evil Midnight Sun group. Cass also comes closer to finding out who she is and what her role in this fight between good and bad is. Hilarity ensues and anyone with a pulse would like this book.

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE FIRST TWO BOOKS IN THIS SERIES

'This Book is Not Good for You' is the third book in the young adult 'Secrets Series' by Pseudonymous Bosch.

The previous book ended with Cass, Max-Ernest and their new friend Yo-Yogi, once again thwarting the plans of the Midnight Sun and keeping the Secret safe. This book picks up a little while later. Cass is working in her grandfather's old-firehouse-turned-junk-shop with the sole purpose of trying to find the box in which she was left on their doorstep as a baby, to try and find out more about where she came from. Instead they find a magazine inside a box of recent donations, and are shocked to see the teen pop star twins Romi and Montana Skelton, members of the evil Midnight Sun, on the front cover. The article inside says that they are visiting the 'Loving Heart Orphanage' (and chocolate plantation) in Côte d'Ivoire, West Africa. The friends are even more shocked to see that the 'nun' running the orphanage is none other than Ms Mauvais, leader of the Midnight Sun.

Cass and Max-Ernest are eager to tell Pietro, head of the Terces Society, about their find, and Pietro immediately dispatches a team out to Côte d'Ivoire to track them down. The Terces Society believe that the Midnight Sun are after the legendary 'Turning Fork', a piece of cutlery that “has the power to stir into being any taste in the world – as long as the eater has tasted it before.” (Chapter 4, Pg 61).

Seemingly unrelated, Cass and her mother are taking part in a cookery course taught by the famous blind chef, Senor Hugo. Cass accidentally lets slip that she knows about the Turning Fork and suddenly finds herself, he mother, Max-Ernest and Yo-Yogi invited to Senor Hugo's restaurant. The restaurant is unusual, however, as it is completely in the dark so the diners can use their other senses more when tasting the food. But during the meal Cass's mother is kidnapped, and Cass is given 48 hours to find the Turning Fork and bring it to Senor Hugo.

This leads to an epic search, and an adventure that will take them right into the heart of the Midnight Sun's chocolate plantation. But what does chocolate have to do with the Secret? And can Cass save her mother and defeat the Midnight Sun again?

This series just keeps getting better! There was so much more character development for Cass in this book and I’m as excited as she is to find out more about her mysterious past, and her ancestors. Like the previous two, this book was very fast-paced and difficult to put down.

This is such a great series of both kids and adults who love adventure stories. I have the final two books on order from my local library and I'm looking forward to reading them!
