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.

Max in the House of Spies

Review by UniSGP

Max in the House of Spies is about a Jewish boy named Max who lives in Berlin. Max is a genius and built his family a radio, and he has two immortal troublemakers living on his shoulders. Max gets sent to London to get away from the Holocaust. He gets welcomed into a house, but soon discovers that the family is spies. I recommend this book to anyone who likes historical fiction, but it can be a little dark at points, but is overall a pretty fun and interesting book. I didn’t pick up another book until I finished it, and I read about ten books at once, so that’s saying a lot. You should get Max in the House of Spies!
