Max Bretzfeld is back in Berlin-as a British spy. His most dangerous mission is about to begin in the much-anticipated sequel to Adam Gidwitz's instant bestseller Max in the House of Spies. Max is on a mission. Well, two missions. One has been assigned by his British spymasters- Infiltrate the Funkhaus, the center of Nazi radio and propaganda. The other they have forbidden- Find his parents. Max Bretzfeld was willing to do anything to return to Germany, even become a British spy. Training complete and forged papers in hand, the radio wunderkind's missions have begun. But nothing is as he expected. His parents are missing. Nazi intelligence is watching him. And the lines between lies and truth are becoming more blurred every day.
Bestselling author Adam Gidwitz was a teacher for eight years. He told countless stories to his students, who then demanded he write his first book, A Tale Dark & Grimm. Adam has since written two companion novels, In a Glass Grimmly and The Grimm Conclusion. He is also the author of The Inquisitor's Tale, which won the Newbery Honor, and The Unicorn Rescue Society series. Adam still tells creepy, funny fairy tales live to kids on his podcast Grimm, Grimmer, Grimmest-and at schools around the world. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife, daughter, and dog, Lucy Goosey.
