Did you know that chocolate originated with the ancient Aztec and Mayan cultures and remains one of the most popular foods in the world? Chocolate facts, chocolate secrets! In this third volume penned by the mysterious Pseudonymous Bosch, the author is both the first-person narrator and a character in the book. Like an audio circus ringmaster, Joshua Swanson expertly juggles both parts, introducing other characters, directly asking the listener questions, whispering helpful asides, and encouraging our heroine, Cass (played with verve by Cassandra Morris), to forge on as she battles an evil dessert chef, rescues her kidnapped mother, and dodges some very deadly sweets. This bright mix of warm narration, fine acting, sound effects, and of course, chocolate is the recipe for one of the most innovative and entertaining children's audio productions of the year. B.P.

In Cass and Max-Ernest's third adventure, the friends pursue the Tuning Fork, a mythical Aztec cooking instrument, to save Cass's mom from her kidnapper, evil dessert chef and chocolatier Senor Hugo. Mystery, adventure, humor, and fantasy meld in this story. A surprise "to-be-continued ending"--and lots of chocolate (some recipes appended)--make this a toothsome read. Playful illustrations open each chapter.(Copyright 2010 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston. All rights reserved.)
