I loved this book, will definitely be purchasing a copy for my library I really think my children will love it. Relatable characters, easy to understand a great read.

I couldn’t wait to dive into the UNBELIEVABLE new book in the MAX MAGIC series, Max Magic 2 by Stephen Mulhern and Tom Easton. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint.

In this thrilling adventure, Max Magic is back and better than ever. He’s determined to win the national talent show, The Greatest Show on Earth, and impress the judges with his magic tricks and illusions. But when a masked magician, Mr Mysterio, enters the competition, Max suspects that something strange is going on.

Throughout the book, I was constantly on the edge of my seat, wondering what was going to happen next. The storyline is engaging, and the characters are relatable and endearing. I especially loved Max’s trusty dog, Lucky, who played a crucial role in helping Max solve the mystery of Mr Mysterio.

The book also touches on themes of friendship and family, which adds a nice depth to the story. And of course, there’s plenty of magic to keep any magic lover satisfied. I loved reading about Max’s magic tricks and illusions, and the book even inspired me to try some of them out myself.

Overall, Max Magic 2 is a fantastic read for anyone who loves magic, mystery, and adventure. It’s a perfect sequel to the first book in the series, Max Magic, and I can’t wait to see what Stephen Mulhern and Tom Easton have in store for Max in the next book. Highly recommended!

This was a fantastic read. It’s the perfect follow on book or stand alone novel.
Once again there are jokes, fun and adventures to keep young minds engaged and entertained.

Great bedtime read, my five year old loved it and chose to dress up as max magic on world book day to school. The storyline was fun and easy to read, excited and hopeful Mulhern will release more books for my son to enjoy.

I received ARC of this book from NetGalley in return for an honest review. I was interested in reading this as I own and have read the first book in this series, I am also a fan of Stephen Mulhern and magic in general. This book picks up from where the previous book left off and the story proceeds to see Max entering a competition akin to BGT. I didn't enjoy this book anywhere near as much as the previous one. The storyline just didn't appear to have any depth and was quite repetitive. Also they seem to flip-flop between the main character being referred to as Max Magic or Max the Magnificent to the point where I wish they had just chose one. That being said there are things about this book that I was quite a fan of, like Max's relationship with his Gran, the obvious nods to pop culture (Willow Holloughby being one) and the very Stephen Mulhern style comedy/jokes. All in all I am very aware that I am not the target demographic for this book and with that being said I'm sure most children who read this will find it very entertaining and fun.
