Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Max And The Magic Of Honesty
Anila Asif · 2024
57/100
👎 Skip It
Max's honesty adventure has a clear, genuinely useful message for 6–11 year olds, and the chapter-book format gives it more room than a picture book to let the theme breathe. But this is a self-published title with no independent editorial vetting and no critical reviews to confirm the execution actually delivers on the premise. The concept is fine; the evidence of quality is not there yet.
