Max’s parents are actors who have been offer the job of a lifetime in India. Max and his parents live in England and when Max misses the boat that was to take them to India he is separated from them. As the days pass, he does not hear from his parents, and he is left to fend for himself. Max must find a way to support himself. After finding a runaway child in the neighborhood Max becomes a finder of lost things. He turns his newfound talent into a business and starts to earn money. While still trying to figure out what happened to his parents.
Max is a
wonderful character who is full of courage and guts. He has all the appropriate
response you would expect from a 13-year-old boy. The mystery around his
parents’ disappearance and the way he tackles each job of finding lost things
is engaging. I will be getting the series of Mister Max books for my
grandchildren.
