A review by wallruss
Maximillian Fly by Angie Sage

2.0

This story was clearly meant for much younger readers than I. That did work against it in the beginning, for me at least and I more than once considered giving up and moving on to another book. I soldiered on and was rewarded with a relatively more interesting story, but it never got to the point where I could recommend it. The sheer amount of coincidences in the story were outrageous. It made me feel that the size of the world was only big enough to handle all the important characters and no more. It was by no means terrible, but it really felt like a children’s story with some possibility but kept simple at every turn.
