“How to describe this one?
I’m going with family/adventure/fantasy/humour, so that doesn’t narrow it down much!
Max is a young boy with a different slant on life, I figured he has special needs. His mum is doing her best, his sister is a typical older sister, and then there is mums boyfriend and an absent father.
Max gets angry and looses control. He send himself on an adventure where he encounters stange giant animals who talk and make him king. All doesn’t go well.
I truly enjoyed this book for its simplicity, sometimes I wondered if it should be a book for teenagers.
My pleasure was enhanced by the excellent narration of Dion Graham..thank you

Score 7/10
