Soon strange accidents begin to plague the rehearsals, and amid the chaos, Max becomes a suspect. Max could never have imagined that a play would involve this much drama! Can Max and his mystery-solving crew--his neighbor Mrs. Needlemeyer, Max's genius little brother Knox, and a surprising new friend--discover who is really responsible before the play's opening night is ruined?
