Synopsis

The third and final book in the critically acclaimed Secret Box trilogy, a series pitch-perfect for fans of humorous mystery capers like Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library and the Mysterious Benedict Society.

Who knew that insisting on opening a strange birthday present would lead to being kidnapped by an evil Greek god determined to conquer the world? Jax Malone certainly didn’t. But now she’s trapped in the back of a limo bound for Epimetheus’s secret lair. He wants to control the three ancient urns that used to belong to Pandora’s daughter. Magical urns that can suck hope, faith, and love out of the world.

Now Jax, Ethan, and Tyler’s only chance to fight Epimetheus’s formidable power might be to find a secret weapon—and to realize that their family ties are stronger than any magic.

About the Author

Before becoming an author, Whitaker Ringwald was certified as World's Greatest Snowball Maker and developed a nonstick peanut butter formula in conjunction with lauded Ig Nobel scientists. Whitaker spends six months of every year in a deep sea submersible trying to film live footage of giant squids. But giant squids are hard to come by, so that's where Whitaker gets a lot of writing done.

Reviews

Gr 4–6—The concluding volume in the trilogy starts off exactly where The Secret Cipher left off. Jax has been kidnapped by Ricardo, an immortal who is seeking the urns of Faith, Love, and Hope to eradicate Zeus from history. One of these urns is currently in the possession of Tyler and Ethan, Jax's cousins. All three main characters have funny, distinct voices, conveyed through first-person narration. This is a perfect series for young readers not quite ready for the works of Rick Riordan. Newcomers may want to start with The Secret Box, as there is little background given about the first two books. Fans will be exhilarated and sad to see this smart, witty, and exciting series end.
