Max in the House of Spies: A Tale of World War II (2024) Good Housekeeping Best Kids' Books Award

Max in the House of Spies book cover by Adam Gidwitz

Eleven-year-old Max must navigate Nazi-occupied France in this historical adventure. Adam Gidwitz weaves historical fact with fiction.


Max in the Land of Lies: A Tale of World War II (2025) Earphones Award

Max in the Land of Lies book cover by Adam Gidwitz

Max's adventures continue as he confronts new dangers and moral dilemmas in a world torn apart by war.

"Morton's narration has an almost visual quality. One can see the snide, smug smiles of German officers; the despairing heartbreak of a gay man recalling his past; and the impishness of two teasing spirits who perch on Max's shoulders, informing and guiding him. Pacing is remarkable, varying quickly from Max's scary spying to the jibing of his invisible companions. Morton's depictions are flawless and his tones on target."
