Description
"Muddy Max takes that eternal struggle between kids and parents---whether to play in or stay out of mud puddles---and turns it into an epic tale full of secrets and superpowers and one very important lesson: Don't eat mud. It's earthworm poop."
--Matthew Holm, co-creator of Babymouse and Squish
"What happens when genius-writer Elizabeth Rusch and super-artist Mike Lawrence get together? A book you won't be able to put down---or wash off! Not only does Muddy Max ooze adventure, it can also teach all of us something about bravery, science, and earthworm poop."
--Bart King, author of The Big Book of Superheroes and The Big Book of Gross Stuff
Max may be the cleanest middle-school kid in the world--his neat-freak parents make certain of that. But what's behind their mysterious fear of mud? When Max finds himself face-down in a murky puddle, muddy from head to toe, he discovers something amazing: Mud gives him super powers. But there's more going on in Marsh Creek--and in his family--than he could ever imagine. Follow Muddy Max and his friends as they dig through the dirt to solve the mystery of Marsh Creek.

A children's mystery story involving a boy who is being bullied, a friend he is trying to protect and lots of mud - put them all together and you have a great story! Having parents who are super keen on keeping their son clean is really frustrating for the boy in question, Max. He finds that mud actually gives him super powers and sets off, with the aid of his best friend, Patrick, to try to use these - without his parents finding out he has ever got muddy! The comic book style story tells the tales of their adventures, an amazing secret they uncover and how the two boys work together to solve the problem Max's parents have been trying unsuccessfully to solve for years. This book will appeal to children and could be particularly useful encouraging more reluctant male readers to actually want to read.
