When I finished reading Thicker Than Water, I was squealing internally with excitement when I finally got this book! But after reading this book, I felt that it was missing something! Don't get me mistaken, I really enjoyed this book and loved the whole series and oh how I love Max and his witty comments (this book was thankfully abundant with his cynical sense of humor). I think there was a lack of dialogue. Not that there is a lack of people talking (or screaming, yelling, or whispering) but I LOVE juicy dialogue. I NEED people to say interesting things. It's the small details that matter to me in a book, because any author can put big details in. (Small details would be, for example, how the ebbing rays of the nightlight lulled me to sleep as it flickered comfortingly, INSTEAD OF: I fell asleep.) If that doesn't make sense, let me just say in a nutshell that this book was a nice finale but it just slacked off a little for me, like with The Cloak Society series (great series!).

The S.P.I.E.S. team has been scattered to the winds, its headquarters burned down, and Max Segredo is under lock and key at LOTUS HQ. What's even worse is that LOTUS's ruthless leader, Mrs. Frost, wants to adopt him.
Max would go to the ends of the earth to be a normal kid with a normal family. But to achieve his deepest desire, he must first evade a hungry tiger, learn to fly a jetpack, reunite with his friends and father, and use all his mad spy skills to stop LOTUS from taking over the government with its mind-control device. Along the way, Max discovers that even a superspy is nothing without his team, and that the strongest families are founded on unconditional love.
