This term we have started reading “The Name of This Book is Secret” by Psuedonymous Bosch.
It is the first book in a series about characters Cass (Casandra) and Max Ernest.
This week’s Literacy Group Task is all about THIS BOOK!
First of all, watch this video:
Now visit this website and look around at pages on the books too.
Pseudonymous Bosch is a Pseudonym. But what’s that? Read here to find out.

We read recently that Cass is named after the legend of Cassandra, read about it here!
Miss B (as you know) loves her artists and art works, and she thinks that Max Ernest is named after the famous artist ‘Max Ernst’. Read about the artist and see his work here.
And is it a coincidence that Pseudonymous Bosch sounds a lot like ‘Hieronymus Bosch’, another famous artist? See his work here and here!
Leave a comment and try to answer one of these questions!
Why do you think the author is using a pseudonym?
What did you find out about the first book?
Are you interested in reading these books? Why or Why not?
How is this book different from other novels we (or you) have read?
Hi to the world,
To answer Miss B’s question, yes I am interested in these books, it always leaves me wanting more and to me that is what a good book should do. I love how with the introduction it made it hard to stop and I like how he didn’t use their real names.

Hi 5/6J
I am interested in reading the series of the 5 senses because at the end of the chapter there is normally a cliffhanger and leaves you wanting more, I think it is different to other novels because I’ve never heard of a book that includes a 90 year old lay that looks like she’s only 30 and I have never heard of any book that has people that have there senses mixed up.

Hi people (56J)
The Name of the Book is Secret!!!!
In my opinion I think it’s GREAT and very suspenseful, after it’s time to finish the book – you’re just dying to hear more!
From Oskar Peace Out 🙂
