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

5.0

To find his way back home to his family in Germany during WWII, Max Bretzfeld, with a kobold named Berg on one shoulder and a dybbuk named Stein on the other, sets out to do the impossible--become a British spy.

Bloody brilliant. Absolutely loved it.

Because my children are grown, I don’t read middle grade fiction anymore. But Gidwitz’s book, The Inquisitor’s Tale, is one of my favorite books ever. So when I saw he had a new release, I knew I had to read it.

And if you’ve been following the British Royal drama across the pond and the Stephen Colbert Show, you’d know how to spell Chumley.
