Max in the House of Spies: A Tale of World War II by Adam Gidwitz

4.0

This book gives a unique perspective about spies during WWII. One must suspend disbelief that a child would be used as a spy but the training and preparation was interesting. Max sure has a creative mind.

I struggled where to shelf this in my generified library because there is an element of fantasy to it. Max has two mythical creatures, Berg and Stein, on his shoulder. They were a highlight in the story for me. They added comical relief and perspective.

I'm excited to see where this story goes.
