School just started in Germany and it´s about time to update my children books library for the coming long nights of autumn and winter. As here, in our home, we loved Monster Max and the Marmalade Ghost, a continuation of the series was approved unanimously.
The third book in the series, Monster Max: This Time It´s Sirius can be also read as a standalone book, but after getting to know Max it will be hard to resist the temptation to find out more about him. This time, the resident of Krit, that can easily turn into a monster by burping and sneezing, has some issues with a pack of wolves which seem to keep an eye on him and his family. But Max has more than one reason to be worried, as he secretely brought to his home a cute little wolf cub.
Appealing the young readers between 6 and 8 years old, the book is written in a language that combines both historical mystery and modern references, which makes it easy to read and understand but also appealing to the everyday life and vocabulary of English-speaking children. The illustrations by Tom Tinn-Disbury add more humourous salt to the story, allowing the little reader to imagine the details of the story read.
All I need to know right now is if there is a continuation of the story, as we are already impatiently waiting for Monster Max next adventures.
Rating: 4 stars
