MAYLIE AND THE MAZE

ABOUT THE BOOK

Will Maylie’s dream be crushed by her own imagination?

Ten-year-old Maylie Montes’s dream is to become an author, but she has a problem. She can’t finish a story. Not a single one.

Her second problem is Camden, her annoying twin brother, who is determined to ruin their summer traveling through Europe with their famous photographer aunt and spunky grandma.

The first stop is England where a castle and maze, a new British friend, and a lot of weird words await Maylie—but the first item on her itinerary is to learn how to write, so she can finally finish a story. However, this goal may land her a one-way ticket home after her writing targets her brother in a spooky story involving a nighttime maze full of monsters. And Camden has his own plans, leaving Maylie to wonder if her imagination has actually become a reality. 

MY REVIEW

I love reading middle grade books.

One is we all were in Maylie's place at one time or another as we were growing up.

Two I've never been to Europe until now. So many places!

I was happy that I got to experience these places with Maylie.

Maylie is an interesting character. I can understand her in so many ways.

If I had a daughter I'd want her to be just like Maylie.

I love trying new authors. So when I saw this book I knew it was for me.

In my opinion, this author has done a wonderful job with this book. She's even made me snicker a few times at Camden. Such a pest! But then again, I figure most siblings usually are.

I finished this book in an hour because I couldn't put it down.

It really does have all of your feel good qualities to make you feel satisfied and leave your heart feeling full.

I highly recommend this book.

I received a copy of this book and I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions are my own.
