Review by Alicia: Bad Luck by Pseudonymous Bosch



The plot thickens in the brilliant sequel to Bad Magic! 

At Earth Ranch, things can get a little magical (some might say strange). Intrepid readers will discover a runaway boy, fishy cruise ship, strange cave paintings, dragon-like footprints, and other mysteries that Clay and his friends need to solve. Danger, adventure, mischief, mystery, llamas, and a delightfully irreverent and hilarious narrator make bestselling author Pseudonymous Bosch's anticipated new novel irresistible.

I will admit, I requested this book from NetGalley based on the description, and that it was a children’s book. It is about a summer camp for kids with magical abilities set on volcanic island with an obscure history. One of the campers, Clay, doesn’t appear to have any magical abilities and isn’t sure why he’s there. Until the day he discovers the cave with all the drawings and a mysterious book. The book is filled with whimsy, magic, villains, and heroes. I enjoyed the book from the first page to the last page. 

This is the sequel to Bad Magic. I was not aware that this was a second in a series, but this was an excellent stand alone. This is the kind of book that will catch a kid’s attention and hold on to it right until the last page. This is the kind of book that is filled with enough adventure and fantasy to hold a young readers attention all the way through the book. Every character has a role and it is quite magical how each of them seem to draw you into the pages of the book. I can’t wait to catch up on this series and then move on with the next books.
I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.





Pseudonymous Bosch is the anonymous pseudonymous author of the Secret Series. Not much is known about him other than that he has a passionate love of chocolate and cheese and an equally passionate hatred of mayonnaise. Rumors of Boschian sightings are just as frequent and about as reliable as reports of alien abductions. If you ever meet anyone claiming to be Pseudonymous himself he is almost certainly an impostor. The real Pseudonymous is said currently to be hiding in a cave in a remote jungle (although there are contrary reports that he is somewhere in Greenland).
