Review

"I truly disliked history when I was back in school so didn't learn a lot. HOWEVER that has changed and now with kids at home that I am teaching I am learning as much history as them, if not more! This book is truly a WEALTH of information! Wendy has done a great job of interweaving Max into a story that really did happen... Incredibly well done." - Liz Pomeroy, parent, USA

"Wendy Leighton-Porter loves history and she loves to share her passion for the past with young readers. Her recent Middle-Grade novel, Max's Royal Adventure: Shadows from the Past, Book 16, takes young readers on another time-traveling jaunt with the feline hero, Max. The adventure is enough in itself, as the plot thickens with page-turning intensity and the characters are so realistic you feel as if you are part of their lives and the setting is so aptly described that you can feel the cold rain and the acorns falling down on your head. But there is so much more to this story and the other books in the series. Young readers are being introduced to history through the eyes of a very adventurous, time-traveling cat. I loved this story from start to finish: education and adventure go hand in hand with these books." - READERS' FAVORITE BOOK REVIEWS

My books have won various awards over the past couple of years, including gold and silver medals in the Children's Literary Classics Book Awards 2018 and 2019, and a bronze in the Readers' Favorite Book Awards 2019. I have also been shortlisted twice in the Rubery Book Awards.

The Shadow of Atlantis is the first in a series of time-travel adventures, featuring 3 children and a magnificent Tonkinese cat called Max. The most recent title in the series is The Shadow of the Great Fire, set in mid-17th century London, and I'm now working on book number 18 - The Shadow of the Slave Ship.

As I take my young readers on a magical mystery tour through the past, I'm hoping that my love of history, myth and legend will rub off on them too. Personally, I'm enjoying the journey so much, I don't ever want it to end! Why not come along with me for the ride?

    5.0 out of 5 stars ~~ Wow! What a history lesson for young and old alike! ~~

    I truly disliked history when I was back in school so didn't learn a lot. HOWEVER that has changed and now with kids at home that I am teaching I am learning as much history as them, if not more! This book is truly a WEALTH of information! Wendy has done a great job of interweaving Max into a story that really did happen. Yes, there were some fictional aspects but Wendy explains all those at the end. The TRUTH far outweighs the fiction. Incredibly well done. She even had us looking at the front of our passports!

    The year is 1651. It's September 3rd and we are in Worcester during the period when Charles Stuart, the rightful next king (Charles II), is on the run to save his life. Meanwhile Max, the cat, is enjoying the summer's sun when a squirrel drops an acorn on him and then another. Thinking to go find Jemima for some sympathy, Max suddenly realizes that the weather has changed. Not only that but silence abounds. There is no traffic, birds etc. What is that roll of thunder?

    Who are the GoT's? Taken back in time, it turns out that pesky squirrel has a name. Russet! Not only that but Russet has instructions for Max. Max is to make sure that Charles goes to Bentley Hall. From there Maxima aka Unicorn, a very capable white horse, will ensure that Charles gets to freedom. If you have wondered why there are so many "Royal Oak" pubs in England, the name all stems back to this time in history when a certain event happened.

    Once again, this is an EXCELLENT book. Kids learn history without even knowing they are learning. Thank you SO much, Liz

    5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading before book 17 in the series!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 30, 2022

    Max’s Royal Adventure is a little more meaty than some of the other Max novellas in the great Shadows From the Past series. It gives Max a serious role in England’s history. Interestingly, the author is firmly pro-royal in this story, set during the English Civil War. Most kids stories are (The Children of the New Forest is a classic I loved as a kid).
    Another excellent adventure in the time-travelling series.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A unique way to teach history to young readers

    009 Lives, which is the name that Max, the fabulous talking Tonkinese cat uses on his secret missions when he time travels, is up to his old tricks again. He zooms back in time to help King Charles II escape the Roundheads. I love reading about Max’s foibles. He really is a hero type cat.
    Of particular interest to me and also a very good feature of Wendy Leighton-Porter’s Shadow of the Past series are the historical notes at the end of each of her books. This is a clever way of teaching history and I must say I have recommended these books to many people, both young and old. I look forward to reading more books in the series, and of course, a few more stand-alone adventures from Max.
