Max in the House of Spies

 I give it four stars...(recommended by Tiffany Gee Lewis).  

This is a story of a 12 year old German Jewish boy who is sent to London to live with a Jewish family while Germany is being bombed.  

His goal is to become a spy for the British government so that he can return to Germany and find his parents.  Also, as a twist, there are two little extra terrestrial beings on Max's shoulders.  They talk to him, even tho no one else could hear them.

It was a fun book.  But, I won't read the sequel, in which we find out how Max does when he gets to Germany.
