Soon strange accidents begin to plague the rehearsals, and amid the chaos, Max becomes a suspect. Max could never have imagined that a play would involve this much drama! Can Max and his mystery-solving crew-his neighbor Mrs. Needlemeyer, Max's genius little brother Knox, and a surprising new friend-discover who is really responsible before the play's opening night is ruined? Find out in this second installment of Max Brinkley's Military BRAT Mysteries!
