Autor Curtis Joblingen Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 mai 2016 – vârsta până la 12 ani
Descended from a long line of monster hunters, Max Helsing does a pretty good job of being an ordinary kid by day and keeping his town safe from demons, ghouls and the occasional mummy by night. That is, until he turns thriteen and discovers he's been cursed by an ancient vampire who wants him dead at any cost. To save the world - and his life - Max must rely on his wise-cracking best friend, cantankerous mentor, computer genius neighbour, and brand-new puppy. He'll need all their help and more to break the Thirteenth Curse!

Recenzii
You'd expect horror, but what surprises with this book is the clever way that there's plenty of humour too, as well as a hero who isn't just out to destroy by force; he is much more clever than that.
Curtis Jobling's writing is crackingly good in this story injected with wisecracks, bone-cracks and crooked crucifixes as Max confronts an ancient evil. Fans of Percy Jackson are going to absolutely lap this one up.
The vocabulary is electrifying - Jobling's first description of a monster in the book is tremendous and reels the reader in for more. [...] Overall, it feels written with love. They say you should write the book you'd want to read for yourself - I imagine that's exactly what Curtis Jobling has done. Kids will monster munch it up.
As you'd expect this is full of thrilling action sequences but Max is a proper character, a decent young man at that, and his sardonic commentary on the gruesome goings on keep the balance between frightening and funny. Monstrous fun!
This action-packed thriller sets up what promises to be a series filled w ith legend, lore, and epic battles.
Max Helsing isn't scared of a few monsters. As a trainee monster hunter, Max knows his gargoyles from his ghouls and can spot an adolescent vampire at fifty paces...
But life is about to get a whole lot scarier. Because since his thirteenth birthday, ever monster in town has been hunting HIM. And when Max comes face-to-face with his ancestor's most feared enemy, only one hunter will survive...
The first in an action packed series, for fans of Percy Jackson.
