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.

The best!😁😀😎

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!

Good Book

Review by Ateam11

It was overall good when Max leaves Germany and goes to Britain but some parts were slow and there is no real climax in the story.
