Max Todd’s Frantic Friend Countdown

Book excerpt: Max is the only kid in class without a best friend. Lucky for him there’s a new kid in school, but after Max makes a bad first impression, he is going to need a second chance to befriend Shiv. While Max’s games usually keep his Super Fidgets at bay, this one is all about showing Shiv what a great friend he would be. After the game leads to terrible second, third and fourth impressions, Max learns that making new friends is not about playing games, but about being yourself. Full colour illustrations and fun typography bring Max to life and make this book accessible to readers of all levels.
