(ages 7 - 9) The "Max-a-Million" series follows the adventures of Maxamillian J. Wigglesworth III, who is determined to become millionaire by age twelve. But whether he's a magician in search of a money-making trick, a hero looking for someone to rescue, or a movie director set to make the next box office hit, his get-rich-quick schemes often end in spectacular disaster! Max and his best friend Sid might not manage to make millions, but they always find lots of action, and discover that money isn't the greatest reward after all. In Max the Mighty Superhero, Max is back with another "foolproof plan" to become a self-made millionaire. All he and his sidekick, Sid, have to do is rescue a few kidnapped babies, save some lives, and the reward money will roll in. But things go haywire when the only baby they rescue has four feet and the owner has plenty to hide. This New Edition is newly illustrated in a fresh Manga-inspired style by David Okum.
