Max is back for the third installment in this fun illustrated series. Max’s evil twin is public enemy #1, and she and the Midknights are trying to find her before time runs out. This highly illustrated book falls into that crossover area of not quite a graphic novel, but more graphic novel-esque than most middle grade books. Lincoln Peirce’s characteristic humor and illustrations will draw in fans of his previous work. The story is funny and action packed and sure to keep young readers wanting more. Hand this series to fans of Big Nate, Dog Man, and the like.

Recommended for readers 2nd grade and up.
