Review

Ever since Max's parents disappeared in book 1 of this series (Mister Max), he has been on the lookout for clues to reunite his family. With the help of an enjoyable cast of characters, and his own tenaciousness, Max cleverly unravels the mystery which leads them to a foreign land where it is suspected his parents are being held. Once there, all indicators are that they all are in danger. The pace of the story picks up as Max and his entourage discover that things are not as they seem. Max's quick thinking, wit and bravery help save the day. The mystery is intriguing, but the level of tension and suspense is even and mild. Overall, this is a pleasing end to the trilogy.

Overall Book Score: good
