Maxamillian Fly
By: Angie Sage
Review:
In Maximillian Fly, there are normal humans and Roaches -- beings with six arms and wings, like cockroaches, who typically act like humans. The humans and Roaches live together, though reluctantly, in an enclosed city. The main character, Maximillian Fly, enjoys his isolated life, but yearns for more. When he helps two kids who show up near his house, his life changes forever. The great detail in the moderate pace and the changes of perspective, along with a sudden plot twist at the end, make this a very good book.

Official book description:
Maximillian Fly wants no trouble. Yet because he stands at six feet two, with beautiful indigo wings, long antennae, and more arms than you or me, many are frightened of him.
He is a gentle creature who looks like a giant cockroach. This extraordinary human wants to prove his goodness, so he opens his door to two SilverSeed children in search of a place to hide.
Instantly, Maximillian’s quiet, solitary life changes. There are dangerous powers after them and they have eyes everywhere. But in this gray city of Hope trapped under the Orb, is escape even possible?
Maximillian Fly is a masterful story brimming with suspense, plot twists, and phenomenal world-building. This compelling novel delves into family dynamics and themes of prejudice, making the case for tolerance, empathy, and understanding.
