ABOUT MAX IN THE HOUSE OF SPIES:
Max doesn’t want to be sent to London.
He’s never left Berlin. He barely speaks English. He doesn’t want to live with strangers. Most of all, he doesn’t want to leave his parents behind.
On the Kindertransport boat to England, Max has never felt more alone—until he meets two unexpected traveling companions: a kobold named Berg and a dybbuk named Stein.
Germany is becoming more and more dangerous for Jewish families, but Max is still determined to go home. He’s hatching a plan to get back to Berlin. It merely involves accomplishing the impossible: convincing the British to make him a spy.
Thought-provoking historical fiction with a dash of magic, Max in the House of Spies is a World War II story as only acclaimed storyteller Adam Gidwitz can tell it—fast-paced, hilarious, and filled with heart.
