"Max and the Spice Thieves is the kind of book that the Young Adult genre is built for. Peragine has crafted an engaging, brand new tale with many elements that have made classics of the genre great, while still carving out space for itself as a new, fresh story. Max is a wonderfully engaging character built for older elementary and young middle school students, but never talks down to them and only lifts them up. I absolutely love the way literature inspires Max to greatness and how he leans upon stories he's read, and the plot is crafted in multiple complexities that challenge these young readers to pay close attention to an expansive, twisting adventure." Judge, 9th Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published E-Book Awards.

"Middle grade to high school readers are in for a real treat in a swashbuckling fantasy that challenges Max's perceptions of himself and his former role beyond his life as the physically challenged son of a missing father. Max and the Spice Thieves is very highly recommended for kids who like their action fast paced and their plots replete with self-discoveries and satisfying twists." Midwest Book Review
