“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.]]>https://marinet.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C10109819https://marinet.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C10109819Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMThttps://marinet.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/10109819980EBOOKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593112090/MC.GIF&client=mnetp&type=xw12&oclc=https://marinet.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S113C1783382https://marinet.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S113C1783382Sun, 31 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMThttps://marinet.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1783382113BKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780525423348/MC.GIF&client=mnetp&type=xw12&oclc=https://marinet.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S113C2325651https://marinet.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S113C2325651Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMThttps://marinet.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2325651113BKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780735231733/MC.GIF&client=mnetp&type=xw12&oclc=https://marinet.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S113C2639748https://marinet.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S113C2639748Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMThttps://marinet.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2639748113PLAYAWAY_AUDIOBOOKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798822682559/MC.GIF&client=mnetp&type=xw12&oclc=From the Newbery Honor-winning, New York Times bestselling author of The Inquisitor's Tale.

Cinderella’s stepsisters got their eyes pecked out by birds.
 
Rumpelstiltskin ripped himself in half.
 
And in a tale called “The Mouse, the Bird, and the Sausage,” a mouse, a bird, and a sausage all talk to each other. Yes, the sausage talks. (Okay, I guess that one’s not that grim…)
 
Those are the real fairy tales.
 
But they have nothing on the story I’m about to tell.
 
This is the darkest fairy tale of all. Also, it is the weirdest. And the bloodiest.
 
It is the grimmest tale I have ever heard.
 
And I am sharing it with you.
 
Two children venture through forests, flee kingdoms, face ogres and demons and monsters, and, ultimately, find their way home. Oh yes, and they may die. Just once or twice. 
 
That’s right. Fairy tales
Are
Awesome.   
* “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, and Gidwitz deploys his successful formula of bloody happenings and narratorial intrusion in his third and final installment of unexpurgated fairy tales. … Underneath the gore, the wit, and the trips to Hell and back, this book makes it clearer than ever that Gidwitz truly cares about the kids he writes for.” —Publishers Weekly starred review
 
“Entertaining story-mongering, with traditional and original tropes artfully intertwined.”—Kirkus Reviews
“The conclusion to the trilogy that began with A Tale Dark and Grimm (2010) and continued with In a Glass Grimmly (2012, both Dutton) is equally gorey and awesomely dark. ... As innovative as they are traditional, the stories maintain clear connections with traditional Grimm tales while creatively connecting to the narrative, and all the while keeping the proceedings undeniably grisly and lurid. … Readers will rejoice.”— School Library Journal]]>https://marinet.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C1418064https://marinet.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C1418064Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMThttps://marinet.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1418064980EBOOKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781101612552/MC.GIF&client=mnetp&type=xw12&oclc=https://marinet.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S113C2400421https://marinet.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S113C2400421Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMThttps://marinet.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2400421113BKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780735231450/MC.GIF&client=mnetp&type=xw12&oclc=Pura Belpré Honor-winning author David Bowles joins Newbery Honor-winning Adam Gidwitz as co-author of the newest Unicorn Rescue Society adventure, as the kids travel to the U.S.-Mexican border to help the legendary chupacabras.

Elliot Eisner isn't exactly thrilled with the first day at his new school. His class is going on a field trip to a creepy forest called the Pine Barrens. The trip is being led by Professor Fauna, the weirdest teacher Elliot has ever met. And the only kid who will talk to Elliot, Uchenna Devereaux, isn’t afraid of danger. She likes danger.
 
Elliot and Uchenna are about to become part of a secret group of adventurers, The Unicorn Rescue Society, whose goal is to protect and defend the world’s mythical creatures. Together with Professor Fauna, Elliot and Uchenna must help rescue a Jersey Devil from a duo of conniving, greedy billionaires, the Schmoke Brothers.

Except this time they're going to have to cross an ocean. In the mountains of the Basque Country, the Unicorn Rescue Society must track down a missing dragon.

1242. On a dark night, travelers from across France cross paths at an inn and begin to tell stories of three children: William, an oblate on a mission from his monastery; Jacob, a Jewish boy who has fled his burning village; and Jeanne, a peasant girl who hides her prophetic visions. They are accompanied by Jeanne's loyal greyhound, Gwenforte . . . recently brought back from the dead.
As the narrator collects their tales, the story of these three unlikely allies begins to come together.
Their adventures take them on a chase through France to escape prejudice and persecution and save precious and holy texts from being burned. They’re taken captive by knights, sit alongside a king, and save the land from a farting dragon. And as their quest drives them forward to a final showdown at Mont Saint-Michel, all will come to question if these children can perform the miracles of saints.
Beloved bestselling author Adam Gidwitz makes his long awaited return with his first new world since his hilarious and critically acclaimed Grimm series. Filled with Adam’s trademark style and humor, The Inquisitor's Tale is bold storytelling that’s richly researched and adventure-packed.
