Max in the House of Spies by Anita

Review by Anita

Max is a genius with two immortal creatures living on his shoulders. When his parents send him to England to be safe from Hitler and the Nazis, his foster family is fulI of...spies! Max wants to get back home, and fast. But it won't be easy, and the path forward is surely a dangerous one. I really liked all the suspense and adventure in this book. It's a great mystery novel. I loved it, and I hope you will too.

REALLY GOOD! It has a lot of good humor and a lot of wild turns. I can't wait for the sequel.

Good

Review by BrooklynBen

It's a good book about a Jewish boy who has to leave everything behind when he escapes Germany. This book is all right, but the sequel is a lot better.

Review by 33rsiegel

So good I bought the next book! It’s full of action, sadness, real history(but also fantasy so it’s not at all boring) and suspense. If I could rate this book higher I would!
