LitPick Review
MaxHelsing and the Thirteenth Curse is a book full of action, mystery and (my personal favorite), fantasy. This story tells of an young twelve year old boy named Max Helsing. He comes from a family bloodline of monster hunters, making him one of them. However, Max has a softer side towards the monsters that did not wish to harm him.
On his thirteenth birthday, he finds out that he is marked by an evil warlock. The curse interferes with his job as a monster hunter, resulting in random and violent monsters attacks. He and his two friends, Wing and Syd, try to find a way to stop the curse.
Opinion:
This book may be the start of my new favorite series (telling from the cliffhanger at the end). The book was really magnificent though it is a little catchy at some points, the cliffhanger caught me off guard and there a some scenes meant for 7th and 8th graders, or a more mature audience. The book had hilarious jokes and comments. It is a book full of adventures and fantasy. Every time a new creature was introduced there was a whole page about the creature with a little comment from Max. In all this was a fantastic book.
