About the author

Deb knew she wanted to be a writer when she was 7 years old. Her first story was about a man made out of cheese. It wasn’t very good. She’s had much more practice writing since then and strangely enough her first writing job was for a kids’ show on channel Ten called “Cheez TV”. After 7 years of writing scripts about everything from llamas to bungy jumping and how to go to the toilet in outer space, Deb wrote her first novel - Max Remy Superspy Part 1: In Search of the Time and Space Machine.

It’s about a feisty girl called Max and her best friend Linden who travel the world as secret agents fighting bad guys. It’s an action packed series based on loads of adventures Deb had, just after she left school. She’s slept beside alligators, been harassed by monkeys (and who hasn’t) was almost
traded for a camel and was thrown in jail at gunpoint, twice.
Deb still claims her innocence to this day.

Together with sport icon Johnny Warren, Deb also created
the Jasper Zammit (Soccer Legend) series. It’s about a
young boy called Jasper and his best friend Lil, who love
their soccer and dream of being soccer legends, just like
Johnny. Deb lives in Sydney with her partner Todd, who
is almost as cute as Linden.

Yay for Max and Linden. Although I am a bit upset... you wait ten books for some romance and all they give you is... well. very little. It takes her till the VERY LAST PAGES to even get anything started. Thats a little annoying.. but meh. At leash they do get together...

This series was my childhood, and although I’m getting to finishing it at 30 when I read the other 9 books at age 10-12, this gets a 5 star for the nostalgia.
Does 30 year old me think it is the best writing? No. Is it predictable? Absolutely. But 12 year old me would have loved this. And it tied up the series perfectly.

ahh Max and Linden!

I read most of this series in 2016-2017 and then in 2019 I read this. Hadn't read the series for many moons but I was so excited for Max and Linden at end.

Loved, and still love, this series.

I must have read this series a million times as a kid. I was even lucky enough to meet the author and have my books signed. I love Max. She's such a perfect example of the awkwardness of growing up and trying to be yourself and not knowing who that is and making friends and falling in love and all the happiness and fear and anger and insecurity of being a tween. Max is totally relatable and very likeable - even if she can be grumpy and standoffish and mean. In fact I liked her more because of it. She was experiencing all the crazy emotions I was - and she was a spy. Alex Rider was cool and all and the Cherub kids were awesome but they had nothing on Max.

I loved her friendship with Linden ( - he was so nice and you can see why she develops a crush on him - but I adored her relationship with Toby) and Toby and the relationship she builds with her aunt and uncle. Spyforce is everything you want a secret spy agency to be with weird and wonderful gadgets and fun and crazy missions.

Yes, for an adult it can be simplistic - but as a kid it's everything you want to read - funny and entertaining. Fantastic series. Solid 4-5 stars overall.

Frankly I want the author to revisit Max - as a young adult/older teen. I would love to read about an older Max and Linden and Toby and see what trouble they get into as high school emotions take over. Please Deborah Abela?

This is, by far, my favorite book in the series. I felt I had grown up with these characters and it broke my heart to see my young minded OTP in peril. I've always said this series was what developed my love for reading and this book was just gold. I think I re-read it about 100 times. I think it came together very well and I was satisfied with the ending. I'd recommend it to any young readers out there xx
