I must have read this series a million times as a kid. I was even lucky enough to meet the author and have my books signed. I love Max. She's such a perfect example of the awkwardness of growing up and trying to be yourself and not knowing who that is and making friends and falling in love and all the happiness and fear and anger and insecurity of being a tween. Max is totally relatable and very likeable - even if she can be grumpy and standoffish and mean. In fact I liked her more because of it. She was experiencing all the crazy emotions I was - and she was a spy. Alex Rider was cool and all and the Cherub kids were awesome but they had nothing on Max.

I loved her friendship with Linden ( - he was so nice and you can see why she develops a crush on him - but I adored her relationship with Toby) and Toby and the relationship she builds with her aunt and uncle. Spyforce is everything you want a secret spy agency to be with weird and wonderful gadgets and fun and crazy missions.

Yes, for an adult it can be simplistic - but as a kid it's everything you want to read - funny and entertaining. Fantastic series. Solid 4-5 stars overall.

Frankly I want the author to revisit Max - as a young adult/older teen. I would love to read about an older Max and Linden and Toby and see what trouble they get into as high school emotions take over. Please Deborah Abela? ( )

This book is jampacked with the adventures of a teenage girl who dreams of being a super spy like her idol Alex Crane. It is the third book of the Max Remy series. This time the super villian Blue is trying to destroy Spy Force.In this book it shows no matter how young you are you can help save the world. It is a very interesting and absorbing book. It is great for young readers who are into action books.

Main character is a girl
This is one of those books where there is a gadget for everything. Max (it took a chapter before I fuigured out it was a girl) is a spy who has had previous adventures (assume book is part of series) while heling out at an awards cerimony for spys she has to save the world , again.
the language is plain and umblemished by the hint of a description. This happened and then that happenined and the character thought this about it.
I know I am biased against thias style of adventure fiction, I know that this will appeal to many, male, readers but i know there is just going to be another gadget that will solve all of the problems, Max will save the day
