Kids Books for Summer Reading

This blog reached # 1  on Google earlier this week!
Kids report that reading a Max Elliot Anderson book is, “…like being in a scary or exciting movie.” And it’s good scary, not dark.

This summer, you will probably be looking for books to keep your kids reading while they’re out of school. It’s no small task to pull them away from the TV, video games, smart phone, or computer.

My books are written with boys in mind, first, but girls love reading them just as much, or more.


I may have just the books you’re looking for. That’s because most of my life has been devoted to the production of films, television commercials, and video programs. Now, much of that same visual excitement finds its way onto the pages of my action, adventure, and mystery books written for readers 8 and up.

Those films included humor, excitement, danger, suspense, action, adventure, mystery, and so much more. My books follow the exact same pattern.

If you’re looking for books that will capture the attention of your child, and hold them to the end, with many cliffhanger chapter endings that nearly force the reader to continue, you might give my books a try.
