Recenzii
“The
book
is
remarkable,
often
because
the
world
building
is
sublime.
A
remarkable
story
that
will
land
hard
with
the
right
kind
of
audience.
I
have
never
seen
the
like.
Pulse
pounding
action
from
the
first
page.
It’s
not
for
everyone.
It
was
never
meant
to
be.
But
it
is
good
and
strong
and
fun
and
desperately
exciting.
You
have
been
warned.”

“Maximillian Flyis the middle-grade mash-up you didn’t know you needed!Metamorphosiscombines with Lemony-Snicket-esque prose to perfectly tell the strange and fascinating tale of Maximillian. Wacky, fun, and so satisfying,Maximillian Flywill steal your heart!”
“An exciting tale full of double blinds, double crosses and unexpected family connections. Thanks to Ms. Sage’s skill at parceling out information while ratcheting up suspense, neither [Maximillian] nor we grasp the full contours of the shocking truths and biosphere-shaking consequences until well into this satisfying tale.”
“Shaken readers . . . will appreciate the author’s dexterity, as well as the way she uses mistaken, misunderstood, or misconstrued incidents as an ongoing motif. Watching Maximillian escape the influence of his demonic mother to rediscover loving connections with a long sundered [family] circle give the tale a sweet aftertaste.”
Praise for the Septimus Heap series: “Youngsters will lose themselves happily in Sage’s fluent, charismatic storytelling”
“A deliciously spellbinding series opener.”
“Readers will be indubitably hooked—worrying, laughing, and gasping over the nonstop adventures of this engaging troupe.”
“Sage at her best; it’s full of fun, adventure, humor, irony, friendship, loyalty, and nonstop action.”
