I know my 11 and 12 year old boys love books full of adventure. They love the ones where they really get to use their imagination and that has a good amount of comedy in it. There is nothing better in this day and age to look over and see my kids reading and hear their wild laughter when they could rather be glued to video games. But,they CHOOSE to read. But, to be honest, it is hard to find books that keep them so engaged. So, when I was offered a copy of Max's Revenge for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion of the book, I was excited to see if it measured up in the fight for my young children's attention.
The story is very easy for a child that age to identify with. The book is recommended for kids age 9-12 years old.
The tagline for the book is: Revenge can be sweet, but, it can also leave a funny taste.
That says a lot about the moral agenda of the book. It helps kids look at a situation where they might want to take revenge and think about the options they would have that might have better results than taking revenge.
This book is available through Amazon Kindle under Children 9-12. It is full of action and adventure.
You can tell just from the full name of the book that it is full of comedy and chaos. It begins with Max getting bumped out of his place in his uncle's wedding by some 5 year old. Then he overhears his aunt trying to sell his grandma's house from beneath her feet!
He knows he must do something! So, he works out plans of revenge. Needless to say, things get a little bit crazy in this wild adventure.
 Watching my kids reactions to the book, I knew it would be one they will be talking to each other and laughing until their tummy's hurt.They couldn't stop laughing while reading certain parts, which in turn makes me laugh. I love finding things that entertain my kids while teaching them as well. I love the book. Thanks to Sally Gould for being able to capture the kind of story a child that age can relate to and will willingly select to read in their spare time.
