Kensy and Max: Take Down – COMING SOON – 2 MARCH 2021

by 130 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I am thrilled that the 7th adventure in the Kensy and Max series, Kensy and Max: Take Down will be officially released on the 2nd March 2021. I must also apologise that there was no newsletter in January. I have been frantically writing Alice-Miranda’s next adventure and have had no time. I’m planning a bumper edition for mid Feb as soon as I have finished the draft of the new book. In the meantime I hope you love the cover of Kensy and Max’s Singaporean mystery. I’m planning quite a few events in Sydney which I will be posting about soon.

Best wishes,

Jacqueline xx

    • Hi Allie and Aditi,

      I hope you enjoy Kensy and Max: Take Down once you get your hands on a copy. 🙂

      I agree, I am so lucky to have the talented and amazing Anne Yi as part of the team – she sure is one of the best!

      Happy reading,

      Jacqueline

  10. I am very excited as well. I reckon that I will be buying the books as soon as I can.
    I’ve been thinking, and I feel that all grumps have something or other to do with the mystery the twins are solving. As a suggestion, maybe you could tie in someone who’s a bit moody but, in the end, turn out to have nothing to do with the plot. I also think that, to g along with this, there could be another person who’s kinder but actually is the bad guy. I will say that dash Chalmers and Mr. Richardson were the more laid-back, unsuspected villains.

    massive fan, Thomas

    • Hi Thomas,

      I love your thinking – it’s so much fun working out the baddies and I hope that this next book gives you some clues about the ultimate dastardly villain.

      Thanks for your support.

      Best wishes,

  14. Oh Yeah! So excited!
    And I was thinking, maybe you could make someone who is a good friend, who has everyone fooled and who turns out to be the bad guy. Like maybe someone from Pharos has gone rouge and they are planning to take town the organisation from the inside? Just me thinking. And please have more Aussie Adventures in AM and CR. I need the Brisbane representation.

  17. I really love AL books, I mean, who doesn’t? I am starting Alice Miranda in the Outback. It looks fun! I know you might have already started the 20th AL book- What’s the title? Where does Alice Miranda go? I have so many questions! Maybe you could do a book about Korea; I think your illustrator is from Korea (?). I’m just making a suggestion. You might hear this all the time, but it’s true! YOU ARE AMAZING! So full of creative ideas! I love how the plot of your book connects so smoothly! So many unexpected things!! ;D Actually, I just finished Alice Miranda in the outback! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Also, I REALLY love Kensy and Max too, I’ve read everything except the 7th book because it isn’t released yet; Clementine Rose is pretty fun too! My absolute favourite Kensy and Max book is Undercover, I’m not sure why.. Also, I’m pretty sure Alice Miranda is going to New Zealand in her next adventure, in some of the the comments, you gave like little clues, in one particular comment, a girl said she would love to have AM go to New Zealand, and you said that she would really appreciate the next place AM is going! Oh wow, I can’t believe I’ve wrote this much (even if others wrote much more)! I have read every Alice Miranda book except for AM in Hollywood, when you go to bookshops or anything, the book is sold out!! This really shows how much people loves your work! I know you can’t spoil it… BUT PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, I beg you to tell me the name of the 20th book! :p! Heh.. I really want to write my own book, I have all the ideas and plot and characters names and- Well, all that, but whenever I start writing one, I don’t always finish actually writing it! Can I ask you a question? How is Alice Miranda so good at “everything”? When authors write stories, mostly, the main characters does not have almost everything, why did you decide to make your character very um well, perfect? Also, I’m just posting my comments here because well, I really wanted to post a comment, but didn’t, and I really didn’t know where to put it so yeah. Keep up the good work, and please answer to me! THANK YOU SO MUCH! tysm! #AliceMiranda #Kensy&Max #ClementineRose You really are one of my fav authors, I adore your work!

    P.S. OMG! THE 7TH KENSY AND MAX BOOOK! *squeeeeeee!* The cover looks absolutely beautiful, I wonder who poisoned Dame Spencer…
    P.P.S. Also, does anything interesting happens in Spy Game? Like, do I NEED to read it because there are important clues in there? I really don’t know why, but I used to have a sneaking suspicion that K&M’s Uncle Rupert had to do with all this! Maybe I still do…
    P.P.P.S. Just asking again, plz let AM go to Korea! Cuz I’m from kO-rAy-ya! Maybe a vacation? Or something to do with the Highton-Smith’s shop (fashion, yeah)?
    P.P.P.P.S. Full Speed is AWESOME! After I bought it, literally read it in 2 days!
    Heh-
    Byeeeee!

    I rlly rlly hope my comment doesn’t disappear like last time!

    • Hi Alyssa,

      Thanks for your message. I’m really pleased that you’re enjoying my books so much. Alice-Miranda is off to Egypt for her 20th adventure. I thought about NZ but then changed my mind. It’s a super exciting storyline with lots of things happening. I’m still working on it at the moment and have three more HUGE days of editing before I send it back to my publisher again. Writing stories isn’t always easy but I recommend you have a plan and that you at least know who the characters are, where the action is going to take place and what the BIG ideas are. How are you going to end it too? I never start a book unless I have a reasonable idea of how it’s going to come together at the end.

      Kensy and Max is out in just 2 more days! Can’t wait to hear what you think.

      Best wishes,

      • IM GLAD! YOU NEED TO COME DOWN TO NZ AND MAKE A BOOK. Can Kensy and Max go to a Robotics Competition in New Zealand? It’s usually in America. My friend went to it. They got to go to NASA. It would be awesome. (They would probably win because, well, they have Kensy)

  27. And what Kat said, I was thinking that there could be a bigger code. BTW does anyone else think Magoo might possibly have something to do with the overall villain. Just a gut feeling.

  31. Dear Ms Harvey
    I know I have contributed a lot in this post but I want this to be my official fan letter. First, I’d like to say that your books are awesome! My bookshelf is literally All Kensy and Max themed! I also remember winning a Clementine Rose book when I won the Kensy and Max Breaking News colouring competition at my school. Ever since you came to my school, I’ve been in love with your books. I still remember answering your question,
    “What’s another word for canyon”
    I remember saying ‘ravine’ and got to be out the front! The only way to describe your books are…

    1 Awesome (repeat previous word infinity times)
    2 Jaw-dropping (repeat previous word infinity times)
    3 Anything that’s mean super super duper duper amazing times a ZILLION

    I’ve always thought of you as a best friend along with J.K Rowling. My books are my only companions that actually make me happy consistently and half of them are YOUR books. I am proud to be called your #1 fan. When people say that they’re your #1 fan, they might just be your #2 fan because the postilion of #1 fan is already taken by me. All my friends wonder why I love you so much. HAVE THEY READ YOUR BOOKS? Probably not.
    I really want to meet you in real life! If there was one author I could choose to get a book signed by, It would be you. As i said. That signed copy of Full Speed made me feel MAGNIFICENT> I think I still have that signed bookmark I got from you but I don’t know where. I’m glad that at my local bookstore, they always have one last copy of your books that I can snatch and buy with my pocket money. I also really love the key-chain idea for the Kensy and Max books. I’ve collected one from buying the 7th book but I don’t know how to get the other 4 because I already have all your books! I think you’ve realised by now that your my FAVOURITE AUTHOR! I love to spend my afternoons on this blog, reading your words and seeing your books. You’re all I ever talk about with my Mum and Dad.
    “Dad! Can you take me to get a Jacqueline Harvey Book?”
    “Mum, can you take me to a Jacqueline Harvey book signing one day?”
    It’s just a topic I love to talk about! So I hope you get why I’m typing this up. If you didn’t know, IT’S BECAUSE I LOVE YOUR BOOKS! Ok, I think I said that already so I hope you get the point… Am I typing to much> probably. But I want you to get how much you mean to me! Kensy is my role model.. well, after my parent and stuff but STILL! All those mysteries are so cool! I love mystery novels! I finished a murder mystery book last night! They’re just so spine chilling and fun! Ok, I’m probably talking too much. My mum says I talk to much so I probably am. I should stop talking now..

    Your BIGGEST BIGGEST BIGGEST FAN EVER IN THE UNIVERSE!

    Ellie

    P.S What about a Christmas edition of Kensy and Max?
    P.P.S I can’t wait for the next book! The next book should be set somewhere in NSW Australia, like Raging Waters or Movie world In Queensland YES
    P.P.P.S I’m talking too much again, aren’t I?

    • Hi Ellie,

      Thank you for your wonderful message! You really are a huge fan and I appreciate that very much. I’m so glad that you enjoy reading the books. Are you signed up to the newsletter (you know you can win books there every month with the competitions I have). It’s easy to do – you just need to sign up in the sun at the top right hand corner of the website home page.

      I’ve just sent my latest newsletter and I imagine as my biggest fan you might like to nominate your favourite books of mine for the YABBA and KOALA awards. I’ve created a blog post about that today but you have to move fast as the nominations close really soon – like tomorrow for the KOALAs and next Wednesday for YABBAs. I would so appreciate your input.

      I love meeting fans so I hope I get to see you somewhere soon.

      Have a great afternoon. I have to start proofreading the next Alice-Miranda book and think about the next Kensy and Max 🙂

      Best wishes,
      Jacqueline

  32. Hey I was wondering whats happening with AM 20? Its been a while since we’ve gotten an update. Of course if you can’t give away anything that’s fine.

    Reply

  33. I managed to get it in shops the day after it was released to shops. I was so excited and surprised to see it because I thought It was coming out later that month. I read it and I loved the storyline from autumn’s secret to Sidney’s kidnapping.
    I kind of think that Tippie was being a little bit suspicious but you never know. She might have good reasons for it.

    Thank you for making it and I can’t wait for AM book 20 to come out!

    • Hi Thomas, I just checked the newsletter subscribers and it has your family email listed. I’ve tried to change it to yours but it won’t let me for some reason. It does say that this month’s newsletter has been opened – so maybe your mum or dad are fans :). Perhaps you need to unsubscribe then try again with your email and it will be fixed. I don’t know why it won’t let me amend it.

      Reply

  35. and uh yes the Macgregors are definitely suspicious. Imagine if Kensy and Max went to Tokyo, and then found out that Huang had escaped from prison and was coming for them, so K and M had one of those classic James Bond-y fights on the train. That would be so cool. Especially considering Tokyo has some super fast trains! Something to think about.

    Reply

    • Tokyo is a cool idea but I have another thought for the next book. Just working on the plotting and planning in the coming days before I leap in. But fast cars figure heavily.

  42. how many Kensy and Max books are you planning to write?
    I think you should write a marine based one so they are under the sea or one in a jungle full of precious animals and dangers! I have already read Kensy and Max Take Down and I just couldn’t put the book down! LOL!

    Stacy I agree with you too! And you Ellie!

    I wonder how many books you will write in the future? My older sister Madeline told me that you are planning to write 10. I think you should write a Kensy and Max with a bushranger in it! seeya next time!
    That was my little brother! I like his ideas too!

    Reply

  47. Jacqueline,
    what happens when you’re writing Kensy and Max 10. You finish it and it reveals the all-time villain, and you get asked to write a lot more K & M. Do you have to come up with a new villain, or do the people give you more warning?

  51. I love this book. But for the covers I want to know how everyone looks. Like on the last one a similar background to the first one but with the Spencer’s, Song, Fitz, Mim, Autumn, to name a few. But put like Autumn and max together for one. Or perhaps something like a book that has some colour pages in the middle that explains the past chapter. That sounds nice doesn’t it. If these were animated series that would be so awesome. I may be the only one I know to know these but these books are one of my faves. It’s up there with Harry Potter, the school for good and evil, the hunger Games and Friday Barnes. Thank you Jacqueline thank you.

  52. Dear Jacqueline Harvey,
    I am a huge fan! Please do a movie for each book of Alice Miranda and Kensy and Max. I loved friends forever but thought it would be cool if there was a movie fore each book. Kensy and Max would be so cool in a movie with all of the spy stuff. Especially a realistic one!

  53. Hi! I’ve been reading Kensy and Max, Takedown recently; I’ve got the book yesterday after looking for so long! I’ve already almost finished it, and so far.. IT IS SUPER GOOD! I think this may turn out to be my favourite Kensy and Max book ♡!
    *This is just a theory but it MAY BE A SPOILER*
    So Magoo.. Mr MacGregor and Mrs MacGregor (Tippie) is SUPER SUSPICIOUS ! I am pretty sure that Mr MacGregor is part of the Spencer family – the suspicious family tree… In the coded note that he had, he wrote stuff about Song, Birthright, and that bone-chilling phrase.. ‘Romilly must be stopped..’ Personally, I think Mrs Vanden Boom is a minor but important character in the Kensy and Max series, because you can sometimes read stuff from Mrs Vanden Boom’s perspective and view – which I don’t think is often for other teachers. ALSO! TIPPIE DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE NOTE! So if Magoo is really bad, it means he is doing something without Tippie knowing. I think Tippie just wants to be like, hmmm treated better..? Because she said something about some others being privileged more, so she wants to maybe prove that Mr MacGreogor is part of the Spencer family, because well, family gets treated better in this case- Okay, back to the note. Mrs Vanden Boom is SMART. MIND READING DEVICES? B.O.O.M! JUST AMAZING ! So if Mrs Vanden Boom is very smart and can make devices that are just beyond imaginations, it may be really easy for her to find out important information! So what if she discovers Magoo’s plans? (If Magoo was bad, which he probably is, because as I read the book, he is really, well.. Acting odd) So of course Romilly must be stopped, she is super clever!!!!!!!!!!!!! This comment is a bit different from my previous comment cuz it’s a theory and all that – ANYWAYS! Birthright. Um okay. So uhhhhhhh yep. Magoo may be talking about HIS BIRTHRIGHT! Because if you trace back to his family tree, I think Max was like, ‘He is linked with the Spencers?’ Something like that- So Song, he- I’m actually not sure why he is mentioned but Song is a great martial artist and just, he could be a VERY BIG THREAT TO THE VILLIANS. Yes, anyhowwwwww—— um- Here’s the thing: Even if Song and Sidney is accused of doing things I will not believe that they did those things because Song and Sidney is a really trusted member of the Spencer’s family. And if anyone knew that, they would like, disguise themselves as those two and well y’know the rest. Back to Magoo! Soooooooooo ehhhhhhh him yes, right uh yep! I THINK HE MAY BE A DOUBLE AGENT, he works with others too! He probably really wanted to go to Kensy and Max’s house because maybe- Well you know what? I don’t really know- I guess I’ll just have to wait for the next book to come out!

    I AM SO EXCITED FOR ALICE MIRANDA IN EGYPT: JUST WOW! Also, did anyone notice that the illustrations on this book is a bit different from previous books? Or is it just me?

    ALSO! I JUST FINISHED KENSY AND MAX TAKEDOWN! OH MY GOSH, IT WAS SUPER DUPER GOOD! It’s amazing, how did you make all the pieces click together? Please respond to my comment, I would be really grateful-! Your books are awesome and you know it! Keep up the GREAT WORK! AND PLEASE I BEG YOU, WRITE LOTS MORE OF KENSY AND MAX BOOKS! I read a comment where you said you are planning to write about 10 (or more)! PLEASE KEEP WRITING! And also, how many Alice Miranda books are you going to write?? Oof! I’ve already wrote this much already! *phew~*
    YOUR BOOS ARE AWESOME THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THESE MYSTERIES! I’VE HAD SUCH A FUN TIME READING THEM AND HAD ME LOOK FORWARD TO THINGS (like, me getting my Kensy and Max book!!!) EVEN IN THE PANDEMIC! WowowowowowowowWOWOWOWOWowowow JUST SIMPLY OUTSTANDING!!!!
    Bye for now, and hopefully, I’ll read the next Alice Miranda adventure and come back!

    Baiiii!

    P.S. Like I told you in my previous comment, plz plz plz make Alice Miranda or Kensy and Max go to korea! Ohhh! I got an idea! A famous pop star gone missing!! Or not. Anywmysssssss plz plz plz plz plz do! I am from kOrEa and well, it would be rlly appreciative!
    P.P.S. LOOKING FORWARDS TO ALICE MIRANDA IN EGYPT! WOWOWOWOWEEE
    P.P.P.S. OK- I KNOW IT’S SO LONG..
    P.P.P.P.S. Plz respond! And thank you for everything!!

    • Hi Alyssa,

      WOW! I love your theories and ideas – but I’m afraid I’m going to keep you guessing for a little while yet! I’ve just finished the first draft for Kensy and Max’s 8th adventure. It’s super exciting and fun (and funny in parts too). I have lots of work still to do but the beginning is pretty exciting and the kids almost get caught retrieving Max’s things from Magoo’s study.

      I’m so glad that you enjoyed TAKE DOWN. It was fun to write and I do love your idea about the Korean popstars. That could be fun.

      I hope enjoy AM in Egypt. It’s one of the funniest stories I’ve written due in part to a character who just keeps popping up everywhere.

      Let me know what you think once you’ve had a chance to read it.

      Best wishes,
      Jacqueline 🙂

  54. Hi Ms Harvey!
    Thank you so much for responding to my comment! It is really disappointing but sadly, I CAN’T GET THE NEW ALICE MIRANDA BOOK!! Because of the coronavirus, I can’t, and I’m super disappointed about it 🙁 I’ve read the preview for it and it’s just so- Just..just.. A-Ma-Zing How do you come up with ideas for your story?? It’s so fascinating, your books.. I really think you are an AWESOME author – you even respond to these comments, which most author don’t! 😀 I want to be an author (along with other things) when I grow up – and I think my inspiration may be you!! Thank you so much for great books and stories – did you know that in book day, my sister dressed up as Alice Miranda from the cover of Alice Miranda Keeps the Beat?! And she even curled her hair and pinned badges to her jacket! And also, in one of my English work, I wrote about a girl named Alice-Miranda-Highton-Smith-Kennington-Jones (I just love that name :p)! Anyways, I just wanted to ask – How many Alice Miranda & Kensy and Max books are you going to write?? Please write at least 15 Kensy and Max books (I would really appreciate it if you wrote more) and MAYBE.. 30 ALICE MIRANDA BOOKS!! ..maybe
    THANKS SO MUCH!
