Review: I really enjoyed this book because the characters were all very relatable. The way it was told was also very personal; it was like Max was having a conversation about her adventures with me. I also liked the part where they get to fly. Thanks to this book if anyone asks what I want for a superpower, I want to be able to fly! I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a fast series.

Review: I gave this book a 5 star rating because I thought this book was so well done. It had science fiction in it, but not too much. It had relatable characters, and mystery to it as well. It had two main characters that you come to care about. I liked the combination of mystery, science fiction, and adventure/survival.

Review: I gave this book a 3.5 star rating because I really enjoyed the book once I got hooked. The hook came a bit late for me, and it was very hard to keep reading. Once it got interesting, I was able to finish it with ease. I also enjoyed the time period in which this book takes place. I have never read a book in this time period. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants adventure, mixed with suspense, mixed with history!
