Critic Reviews

"Think of everything that can inspire young girls and put them into one book; this is it! The time is now for a girl to take the helm of the domains of genius, creativity and courage. Max Einstein is that girl and this is the book that can turn our young girls into dreamers and world changers! Max Einstein is everything you hope young girls can dream to be: smart, brave, creative, and able to inspire others to be the same. I love this book for all kids who want to dream big and imagine even bigger!" (Mayim Bialik, number-one New York Times best-selling author of Girling Up and Boying Up)

"This book is an inspirational page-turner that won't let you down. Any girl (or boy) can see themselves as Max Einstein, who uses her science smarts and bravery to travel the globe and help people. It is so important that children feel empowered to create solutions to our world's biggest problems. This book celebrates the importance of young people's new ideas and endless imagination. A great addition to any book shelf!" (Rachel Ignotofsky, New York Times best-selling author of Women in Science and The Wondrous Workings of Planet Earth)

"Mix together these ingredients: a feisty heroine, a rambunctious plot, a nasty villain, and the notion that being smart is cool, and that working together across all sorts of barriers is even cooler, and you have this rollicking roller coaster of a book." (Gary D. Schmidt, author of Newbery Honor-winning The Wednesday Wars and National Book Award finalist Okay for Now)

My review of the book

This book is great if you like adventure or realistic fiction. I highly recommend it to 6th or 7th grade teachers.

Very Well Read.

Enjoyed every second! Only complaint is that the story is pretty predictable but, I'm not the target audience and it was still a fun adventure so... Yeah lol

great kids book

I listen to this in the car wity my daughter and she loves listening. she tries an guesses how many chapters there are.

the boys were cheering for more!

We listened on our last roadtrip, the boys loved the book and hope there are more in the series! Great examples of how in and out of the box thinking can help humanity.

Awesome book

James Patterson is an excellent author I read all of the books he read even Cat vs Dog!!

Inspirational change maker

Einstein quotes and humanitarian efforts for change is inspirational to be a change maker! Share with a young mind looking for inspiration.

BEST BOOK EVER

You have to buy this book now it is the best book ever. It is so cool and awesome.

perfect combo of science, learning, adventure!

my 8 year old liked it even if the vocabulary was above her grade at times but that gave us many moments to discuss what's happening in the story. like the way science is laced into adventures by world-saving teens all the while making kids think, a bit holistically. one challenge though was myriad accents though I do see how that can be useful. all in all, it reminded my tin-tin days minus war + science :)
