THIS BOOK IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU - which opens up on Chapter 15 - also features a girl named Simone, locked in a cage because of her superstar talent and superior sense of taste; monkeys on the loose in a Rainbow Rainforest; a smattering of Aztec history; and a bird with special talents and a deadly snake. From adoption to allergies and chocolate to circus performers, Bosch takes the reader on a non-linear path to the book’s conclusion. And, by the end, many secrets will be revealed, not only about Cass but also about Ms. Mauvais, including her first name and a glimpse into her childhood - her very, very long-ago childhood.
With scads of twists and turns and a playful tone, Bosch delivers an important message: families come in assorted varieties, but the best ones are centered in love, no matter how they are structured. Rounding out the reading experience are an appendix, complete with "chocolossary - a slightly biased glossary of chocolate terminology, " several recipes and Max-Ernest’s 100 ways to say hello.
THIS BOOK IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU is about a secret society and a dangerous adventure - and chocolate, lots and lots of chocolate.
