Mister Max: The Book of Kings: Mister Max 3 by Cynthia Voigt

3.0

A pretty satisfying conclusion. The twist at the beginning regarding Max's parents really set the stage well and made the rest of the plot more plausible. It was refreshing to finally see some action after all that filler in the second novel!

I'm not sure how middle graders would find this series. It's quite slow moving and I don't think the average middle grader has enough background knowledge to appreciate all the references to Shakespeare's works. It's a decent middle grade mystery, but not one I would be in a rush to recommend.
