Here are just a
few short comments about the action-adventures and mysteries for kids by Max Elliot
Anderson.
"Max Elliot Anderson brings a lifetime of dramatic film
and video production to the pages of his action adventures and mysteries."
Jerry B. Jenkins, Author
"Max Elliot Anderson's Adventures are like good, family
movies." Bill Myers - Author
Lost Island Smugglers
* I would say that this is probably going to be my favorite of
his books. That is until the next one comes out and I read it.
*This book was very exciting and it really kept me at the
edge of my seat.
*Growing up I loved reading Hardy Boys (preferred them over Nancy
Drew) and this reminded me of a Christian contemporary version of Hardy Boys.
There is definitely action, adventure and suspense for both boys and girls 8-12
years.
*Parents: This is a wholesome book that boys will relate to
and enjoy. The lessons that are included as part of this adventure are fully
integrated into the story, unlike many books where we see a "preachy"
sort of lesson which just pops up out of nowhere.
*What mother doesn't want to find a book with good values
wrapped around an adventure story her sons will enjoy?
The action in this book is nonstop, drawing the reader in
and keeping his attention all through the story.
*I'd recommend Lost Island Smugglers to anyone, whether boys
or girls. Get your copy and dive into the adventure today!
*Lost Island Smugglers grips the reader's interest and
continues to hold it until the very last page.
Captain Jack's Treasure
*These books by Anderson are a treasure to have. The format
is clear and easy to read. Each chapter has a great ending to pull you into the
next chapter and before the youth knows it they have read a book!
What I, as a parent and grandparent, like best about this
book is how the author wove all the important things young boys should learn
while growing up into their everyday lives. He built the base of a faith filled
life without pushing it on you. It is a very easy book to read, flows very
nicely.
*Max’s books have adventures and mysteries to carry the
reader from the first sentence to the end of the book. I would say they are
must reads.
*This is a book that will appeal to juvenile boys and older. Girls
will like these books too. If you have a reluctant reader, be sure to pick up
any of Max Elliot Anderson's books. You'll be glad you did.
*As a parent that is always looking for quality literature
that my boys can grow with (and doesn’t include vampires and magic and demons,
yuck!) this was a refreshing read indeed. One I am sure we will revisit too as
they get older.
*One can tell that Max Elliot Anderson knows the hearts and
minds of young boys. I highly recommend this book to all adventure-loving
(especially pirate-adventure loving) 8 to 12 year old boys or girls.
River Rampage
*If your tween boys, and girls too, like adventure and excitement, they simply have to try Max Elliot Anderson's books. I've never read one that I didn't like.
*This was a book that I couldn't put down. Max Anderson's writing style will grab readers and hold them until the end of the book.
*Readers of any of Max Elliot Anderson's books know that the books are guaranteed to be exciting, suspenseful, and geared toward boys. RIVER RAMPAGE isn't any different.
*My son really liked the book. It was exciting enough to keep him reading as he wanted to see what would happen next. It got his attention from the first few pages.
*I couldn't put this book down till I knew if they make the journey. What started as an adventure, quickly became a battle to live. With each turned page, it seemed things got more involved, each new surprise, more harrowing, and almost impossible for the boys to live to tell the tale.
*A fun story with enough action to keep kids reading to the very last page.
When The Lights Go Out
*This is a book that takes place after the events of
9/11. You don't have to wait until another anniversary of that date rolls
around. This is a book that will grab you and hold you until you read the last
word.
*Exciting, quick-paced, with good lessons - Anderson has
written a book that middle school boys will gobble up.
*The reader will keep going to see what is going to happen
next.
*This is a fast paced story for young adults, especially boys
but girls will also enjoy this story of adventure, action, finding a mission
and staying alive.
*I thoroughly enjoyed this book - and all of Mr. Anderson's
books, as has my son. Thanks to Mr. Anderson, my son went from being a very
reluctant reader, but when he read the first book he was hooked, and has read
every one of his books to date.
*The author delivers a well written story that will shock the
daylights out of you once you read the ending.
Barney And The Runaway
*This book is written by an author that has geared his
writing to young boys but girls would enjoy it also. The story keeps you
reading. Anything by this author is a wonderful gift and a book a person will
treasure.
*This is a very fast moving story, one I couldn't put down.
*My son still has his collection of Max's books on his
shelves. Pick up a copy of any of Mr. Anderson's books. You won't regret it. Barney
and the Runaway is a great read.
*Mr. Anderson packs into this superb 5-star story the
intrigue, mystery, and timeless life lessons that "tweens" will enjoy
and parents will feel comfortable to read aloud.
*Barney and The Runaway is a great adventure story that is
unpredictable and fascinating on every page. It's a great addition to the
already terrific novels written by this very talented fiction author!!!
*It’s filled with action, mystery, and excitement that will
keep both boys and girls turning the pages to see what happens next.
Legend Of The White Wolf
*The end was so gripping I found myself sitting on the edge
of the couch. I gave this book a rating of 5 out of 5.
*The author also offers insights into the nature of this
mysterious, magnificent animal which has suffered such a bad reputation in the
past. Young readers of adventure stories will relish this. Adults who love and
admire wolves will be charmed. 5 stars!
*Filled with suspense and information about wolves.
*Max Elliot Anderson weaves this story of adventure and trust
with deft fingers, bringing the story to life in a fulfilling and meaningful
way. "Legend of the White Wolf" should be included on every young
boy's bookshelf.
Newspaper Caper
*A fun, suspenseful read with some interesting twists that
squarely hits the target market of tween boys--though girls who enjoy mysteries
will like it, too.
*There is excitement, adventure, with a few twists and turns
for added fun. I will definitely recommend Newspaper Caper by Max Elliot
Anderson to my daughter, nephew, and my friends with kids in the age group.
*Great to find a book whose characters are good examples and
the adults are not made to look foolish.
*My older two boys who are 8 and 10 years old LOVED these
books. I have one boy who doesn't like to read, but it was easy getting him to
read everyday with this series of books! They would come tell me everything
that happened in the part they read that day. I'm so glad I found an adventure
that they like to read.
*I loved this book - and I'm a girl! And I'm definitely not a
Tween. Yet this book captivated me from the first page.
*We feel this author is providing a much-needed resource for
those readers who would rather not read if they don't have to. We rated it five.
*Anderson's narrative is well plotted, the characters and
their dialogue are realistic and the lessons sprinkled throughout are subtle
but timely. I would gladly recommend this book to young readers.
*This is an exciting book from beginning to end. I really
enjoyed the clever but easy to follow plot, the believable characters, the
realistic dialog, and the fun, family friendly humor. Parts of the book really
keep you on the edge of your seat, too.
Terror At Wolf Lake
*I really liked the story in this book. It has some really
fun moments and some really scary ones. It also shows how boys can be real with
each other and how bad choices can lead to bad results and good choices can
lead to fantastic results.
*The story uses exciting situations and humor to keep it
interesting from beginning to end. And through it all the reader learns
valuable lessons about what is really important in life.
*"Terror at Wolf Lake" is an enjoyably ethical story
with a fresh, fun approach that young readers will truly enjoy.
*"Terror at Wolf Lake" is a recommended read due to
the clear, easy reading style and fairly strong plot line that juvenile
adventure readers are likely to enjoy.
North Woods Poachers
*This is the second book by author Max Elliot Anderson that I
have read, and both have been great. Max uses an exciting and adventuresome
story to appeal to young readers. I would happily take an Anderson book over
much of what is palmed off as young people's literature today.
*I found this book to be interesting from the very beginning
and it held my attention all the way to the end.
*Anderson crafts a story that has one breathtaking scene
after another. Just when we think they are scared enough to avoid danger, the
boys are at it again!
*When I was young, going out to a movie was a family event. When the movie was
really good, we applauded at its end. I have to admit that, upon finishing this
story, I had the urge to applaud! You will too, and if your family and friends
wonder what has come over you, then loan them your book to read!
*I enjoyed this book very much. The kids in the story acted
like detectives and solved the poaching mystery. It's a good book for boys and
parents will be glad that the book also teaches about the importance of
respecting the law.
*Max Elliot Anderson wrote this book to set kids, especially
boys, on the edge of their seats. Dreams of adventure will whirl through the
minds of readers as they turn the paes
The Scarecrow
*This was a story that I could relate to. As a teacher I see so
many of my students face hardships in life that I've never had to face. Max
Elliot Anderson is one of the top authors in my book.
*My daughter just finished reading The Scarecrow by Max
Elliott Anderson. She loved the book and thinks the author writes very well.
Overall, she said she would recommend this book to both boys and girls age
eight and up. However, she feels that even grown-ups would love this book.
*Author Max Elliot Anderson has done it again. To be honest,
I've never read a Max Elliot Anderson book that I didn't thoroughly enjoy, and
this one is no different. It gets a high five from me.
* So, that's just a sampling of the comments these books have received. I hope you'll continue the word of mouth, and send this link on to other family, friends, and contacts.
Thank you - Max Elliot Anderson
