The December issue of Quill and Quire features a very nice review of Max Finder Mystery Collected Casebook Volume 1. Here are some of the highlights:
Update: Read the whole Max Finder Mystery review online at quillandquire.com.
The storylines contain elements of pre-teen experience that readers can relate to: school fundraising, dances, sports, bullying and fitting in, while the characters reflect the diverse ethnic backgrounds of Canadian schoolchildren.
And:
“In addition to appealing to amateur sleuths, these graphic mysteries offer reluctant readers short, manageable reads within an inviting comic-book format.”
Couldn’t have said it better myself! Pick up (or check out in the library, as I usually do) the latest issue of Q&Q to read the rest of the review and a great article on fellow blogger Ami Mckay‘s rapid rise to CanLit stardom (way to go Ami!)
Max Finder Mystery Collected Casebook Vol. 1 is available in bookstores across Canada and online everywhere and it makes a great holiday gift for the youth sleuth in your life.
Congratulations Liam! On my Christmas giving list, fer sure 🙂
Thanks Anita – it was definitely nice to the kind words about Max. Hopefully lots of other folks will see it too. 🙂
Well done – that os a feather (or quill) in your cap. I will try to track down the review somewhere in Ottawa and read the whole thing.
Thanks Andrew – I tried finding the review online, but I guess they won’t post it (if they even do) until Jan, when the Dec mag is old news. When it’s up, I’ll definitely post/link to it onto the website.
