An instant New York Times bestseller!

?Max in the House of Spies is everything you could hope for in a book,? -R. J. Palacio, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Wonder, White Bird, and Pony

?Espionage! Secrets! Suspense! If you?ve ever dreamed of being a spy, this book is for you.? -Alan Gratz, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Refugee and Projekt 1065


Max Bretzfeld doesn?t want to move to London.

Leaving home is hard and Max is alone for the first time in his life. But not for long. Max is surprised to discover that he?s been joined by two unexpected traveling companions, one on each shoulder, a kobold and a dybbuk named Berg and Stein.

Germany is becoming more and more dangerous for Jewish families, but Max is determined to find a way back home, and back to his parents. He has a plan to return to Berlin. It merely involves accomplishing the impossible: becoming a British spy.

The first book in a duology, Max in the House of Spies is a thought-provoking World War II story as only acclaimed storyteller Adam Gidwitz can tell it?fast-paced and hilarious, with a dash of magic and a lot of heart.
