The Name of this Book is Secret is a 2007 fantasy novel by Pseudonymous Bosch. The author's real name, as Bosch is a pseudonym, is Raphael Simon. It chronicles the adventures of two children, Cass and Max-Ernest, as they investigate the mysterious death of local Pietro Bergamo. As you find out later in the book, he is not really dead. Frequently during the course of the book Pseudonymous chastises himself for writing the secret, going so far as to change his mind and stop halfway through, only to bribe himself into completing the story.
