Max Booth is back for a new adventure in the latest instalment in the Max Booth Future Sleuth series. MAP TRAP is Cameron Macintosh’s 6th book of the series, which is illustrated by Dave Atze.

I thoroughly enjoyed this instalment of the adventures of Max Booth is back for a new adventure in the latest instalment in the Max Booth Future Sleuth series. MAP TRAP is Cameron Macintosh’s 6th book of the series, which is illustrated by Dave Atze.

I thoroughly enjoyed this instalment of the adventures of Max Booth and Oscar. A detective duo with an ability to get in and out of mischief and always saving the day. Something ‘like a map’, because maps can be complicated! and can lead us on many journeys and what we discover when we reach our destination is always part of the fun. A GPS navigation unit from 400 years ago creates an adventure all of its own as Max and Oscar work to solve the mystery of a strange looking device.

The illustrations are very life like and thought they depicted what was happening in the text very accurately. He particularly likes how worried Oscar looks when they were surrounded by the robo cops.

Max and his sidekick robo dog Oscar help their friend Jessie identify artifacts from the 20th and 21st centuries for the Bluggseville city museum. That may not sound very exciting to most people, but for Max and Oscar it is very exciting because they live in the year 2424.

On this adventure Jessie has asked Max and Oscar to help identify a device that they think is an old phone. At the Romero Telecommunications museum they explore the old phones from the 21st century. Here they get into their first bit of trouble when they are accused of stealing and are surrounded by robo cops. The guard who thinks he’s caught a couple of thieves is actually Mr Romero himself and after a but of investigation informs them that their device is actually a GPS device.

On their quest to find out who owned it last, the GPS device leads them to a deserted location way out of the city. Here, they narrowly avoid getting caught by some devious looking thieves, stealing a precious piece of old-tech art…

They know they need to get the metal object back and while they are trying to work out how, they run into someone Max used to know, Lily, who is also an escapee from the home for Unclaimed Urchins on Skyburb 6. Lily helps them get into the building where they discover lots of things that shouldn’t be there.

Will Max, Oscar and Lily be able to save the day?

Will the thieves be apprehended?

Will they get caught?

To find out, read MAP TRAP and enjoy Max Booth’s latest adventure. This chapter book for children is ideal for ages 8-10 years and explores the themes of adventure, mystery and sci-fi. This intergalactic adventure will appeal to young readers of mystery and mayhem. The writing is stimulating and exciting, allowing readers to be captivated and be always asking, ‘what will happen next?’

Marlow Brown is a s Marlow Brown Magician in the Making is a story about a girl who is inspired to become a magician after meeting Mervin the Magical at the fair. Witten by Kesta Fleming and illustrated by Marjory Gardner, published by Celapene Press.

Marlow Brown is a school aged child who is inspired to become a magician after Mervin the Magical performed at the local fair. He even let her assist him during his show, and as a thank you, gave Marlow a show bag with tricks and tips to get her started in the world of magic.

With the help of Marlow’s dog, Rockstar, she studied The Magicians Handbook from the showbag. Learning how to perform tricks and improve her skills, Marlow used a notebook to record her tricks step by step.

Marlow practiced and practiced and attempted two tricks for her parents. They were, unfortunately unsuccessful and her dad wouldn’t stop laughing. Not deterred she decided to perform a trick at school which a classmate filmed. With the help of her friend Felix, she was going to pretend to hypnotise him. What ensues is a classroom full of chaos, when Marlow’s Teacher also pretends to be hypnotised, or is she really pretending?

What young person doesn’t dream of what they will be when they grow up? Marlow Brown Magician in the Making is Kesta Flemings second book, where Marlow has moved on from wanting to be a scientist in book one but uses some of her science skills and knowledge when exploring the world of magic.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and found myself turning the pages eagerly to discover what mischief Marlow would get into next. It brought back memories of my childhood, when I was so determined to do something and was devastated when an adult laughed at me, I felt for Marlow when her dad laughed at her. It was inspiring that she didn’t let that stop her and she was even more determined to follow her desires and work harder to achieve what she wanted.

The illustrations were delightful, particularly likes the one where Marlow is trying to hypnotise Felix. Blue Bear likes it when Felix’s eyes roll back and he looks like he is dizzy, I had to explain to him that he isn’t dizzy, he’s only pretending.
