About Max and the Isle of Sanctus by John Peragine
In the second book of Secrets of the Twilight Djinn, Max Daybreaker embarks on all new adventures. Max must battle a Kraken, ride a fire-breathing dragon, and defeat the evil djinn whose powers are growing every day. The stakes are high for Max as he tries to protect his friends from angry sea gods and a vengeful sultan while also saving his mom from a terrible curse! Max must reach the Isle of Sanctus using his unpredictable magic power and foes on all sides before time runs out.

Review of Max and the Isle of Sanctus
Max and the Isle of Sanctus is filled with pages of non-stop adventure for Max and his friends. While Max continues to try to reunite with his family, he and the pirates get into more trouble. Everywhere Max goes, there is someone or something trying to stop him. Dark and dangerous, the journey is full of daring kids, swashbuckling pirates and loads of magical creatures.
Max’s gut thinks it knows who is good and who is evil, but he is a kid with little experience to train a gut. Which leads to never really knowing who is an enemy and who is a friend. So, constant danger? Yes. Scary education for Max? Also yes.
Captain Cinn is hilarious and is all about the next meal! Not because he likes to eat but because he loves to cook good food for his friends. Cinn is my favorite character and I hope he continues to feature in the series.
I think Max still has plenty of exploits ahead of him. This is a fun series for the middle graders who want to escape to the adventures of the high seas.
Thanks to the author who provided a copy of his book in exchange for my honest review.
