Max is a mouse with issues.
Trying to fit in with everyone around him means that Max can't be himself - in fact, it is downright dangerous being himself - so if he is to carry on living with the horrible cat, Camilla, and Mrs McSkimming, he needs to change himself into someone else...
The question is - is he going to be comfortable with the result?
In a whimsical departure from his successful Sweaty (Children) and Derek (Young Adult) series, Mac Black brings us a quirky new character called Maximillian - a resourceful mouse, with some surprising ideas.
