Russell, R. (2017). The Misadventures of Max Crumbly Middle School Mayhem. NY: Simon & Schuster.
NYT Bestseller List - Summer 2017
Summary
This book picks up where the last book left off. Fortunately, they provide a recap in case you haven't read the first book. Max Crumbly is still trying to recover his dad's comic book from three thugs that are vandalizing the middle school. Max has one thing on his mind, and that is getting that comic book back. Rather than enlist the help of the authorities, he sets off on a series of misadventures with the help of his best friend Erin.
Commentary
When I first saw this book cover, I thought that it reminded me of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. When I realized it was written by the same author, I knew that I wanted to read it. I always liked reading those books with my daughters. My 6th graders loved the Wimpy Kid series, so I will definitely recommend this series as well. Although I don't think it is as good as her previous books, young readers will still enjoy the comedy and fun illustrations. This book would be great for reluctant readers. It leaves off on a cliff hanger, which leaves you wanting more.
