Max Remy Superspy : In search of the Time and Space Machine.
1. About Max Remy.
Max Remy is an eleven year old girl who lives in the city with her
mother. She is suppose to spend the summer with her dad who is a film
producer. But when things don't go according to plan Max is dropped off
at her Aunt and Uncles farm in the middle of no where. Here she meets a
boy named Linden and they become the best of friends. Together they
discover that Max's Aunt and Uncle are actually inventors for a secret
spy organisation called Spyforce. When Max and Linden use their latest
invention, a time and space machine, to find her Uncle's brother in
England they meet an evil Mr. Blue who is plotting to take over the
world with the new invention. In the end Max and Linden defeat Mr. Blue
become secret agents for Spyforce with heaps of cool new stuff.
2. The Title MAX REMY SUPERSPY:IN SEARCH OF THE TIME AND SPACE MACHINE
I think Deborah Abela chose this title as it is instantly tells us of
the main character and what the book will be about without even picking
it up yet. I think she did this so people knew what it was about for
those people who love spy and adventure novels so it was easier to find
that type of book.
3.Setting and genre.
The book is set in today’s time roughly. Max lives in the city of Sydney
as it is today. The farm is also a real place in the country. London is
very much set as it is today.
This book is an adventure novel about spies, deception and mystery. This
is a children’s fiction novel for ages 11+.
4. About the characters
A) Max
Max is and eleven yr old girl who is shy by brave. She is a lot of
the time stubborn but generally she has a good heart and a love of
adventure, she loves her family even if she doesn't know it. Her best
friend is Linden.
B) Linden
Linden is a boy about Max's age who lives near Max's Aunt and
Uncle. He is a real country boy who is really down to earth, a
contrasting character to Max's wild attitude towards everything. he is
very brave and calm in sticky situations which is why he is the one who
keeps Max's cool on missions.
5. Major Changes
The biggest change for Max in the book would have to be when she starts
her adventure in search of her uncles brother. This whole adventure
changes her forever. She is less stubborn and doesn't nearly as much
attitude towards everything. Max becomes very brave and stands up to
bullies in her class. This shows how one event can change a person
forever.

1) ‘There was no one to look after me in Sydney’ Max spoke up.
8. In general, this book is very exciting and action packed which goes pretty fast. I would recommend it for kid’s as it is fun and original. The characters are unique but face the same problems as us “normal kids”.
