Max in the Land of Lies : A Tale of World War II

By Adam Gidwitz
Max in the Land of Lies : A Tale of World War II by Adam Gidwitz digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Max Bretzfeld's dangerous mission begins when he returns home to Berlin as a British spy in the much-anticipated second book in Adam Gidwitz's duology that began with Max in the House of Spies.

Max was on a mission.
Well, two missions.
One mission his British spymasters knew about: infiltrating the Funkhaus, the center of Nazi radio and propaganda.
The other, they did not: finding his parents.

Max Bretzfeld was willing to do anything to return to Germany, even become a British spy. Training complete and forged papers in hand, the radio wunderkind’s mission has begun—gain access to the legendary Funkhaus, the base of operations for the Ministry of Propaganda and Popular Enlightenment headed by Joseph Goebbels.

Max in the Land of Lies : A Tale of World War II Reviews

4.0
“I’m cleared this book in 2 days. It was nearly impossible to put down, and a rare example of a sequel that’s better than the original. I liked the first book, loved this one. It is so refreshing to read a book for children that does not condescend to them. Gidwitz has created a historical fiction spy thriller for kids that treats its subject with the utmost respect and care, while maintaining an engaging plot. I was on the edge of my seat nearly the entire book. And the ending? Wow wow wow. It got to me. “Between the truth and this, I choose this.” I was wondering if there was going to be a follow-up to this… I see a possibility for a third book, but on the other hand, it is a perfect duology.”
“Actually throwing up this book was incredible ☹️☹️ Everyone needs to read this duology asap it's so underrated”
