Meanwhile, back home, Cass is at the hospital in a deep coma. Max-Ernest knows she ate Time Travel Chocolate—and he's determined to find a cure. Can our expert hypochondriac diagnose Cass's condition before it's too late? And will he have what it takes to save the survivalist?

      A secret society, time-travel chocolate, and the quest for immortality are part of the puzzle to be solved by three unlikely friends. Cass is in an apparent coma in a hospital, but in reality she has eaten the time-travel chocolate and is elsewhere putting together the pieces of her family history. Max-Ernest and Yo-Yogi are trying to find a way to bring her back. A typical Bosch adventure ensues. The ensemble cast expertly brings this story to life, and Joshua Swanson is superb as the first-person narrator. His delivery quickly pulls listeners into the story as if compatriots on a journey.

      Gr 4-6-As in the previous three books in the series, Pseudonymous Bosch delivers a witty mystery adventure (Little, Brown, 2010) that is sure to keep listeners smiling. In this installment, Cass wakes up in an unfamiliar place, unsure of how she got there or who she is. To top it all off, she learns that she is invisible. Eventually she discovers that she has somehow traveled back to the Middle Ages. Luckily her bipolar jester ancestor is there, and together they begin to unravel the mystery of why she ended up stuck in the past and how she is going to get back to the present. Meanwhile Cass's best friend Max-Ernest is sitting at her bedside at home trying to entice her out of a coma caused by Time Travel Chocolate. Listeners tag along with Max as he visits unusual circus clowns, tries to learn how to read minds, and decodes secret messages in order to figure out how to bring Cass back to the here-and-now. During "Listener Advisories," the narrator speaks directly to the audience telling them to never leave this audiobook lying in the open or to disguise the audio device with a cover. The full-cast narration is a treat. This funny, stand-alone jaunt will be a welcome addition to library collections.-Caitlyn Walsh, Fayetteville Public Library, AR

      Adventure number four finds Cass wandering through a medieval world after eating Time Travel Chocolate, while Max-Ernest desperately searches for an antidote to return her to the present. The book's blend of mystery, fantasy, puzzles, puns, and a puckish, sometimes snarky sense of humor will keep readers engaged and eager for the next installment. Playful illustrations open each chapter.
