Max Opposite What do you do when you can't control what you do, When your brain behaves in mysterious ways, When you're only 13, And discover your life is a lie? What do you do, When your search for the truth, Plunges you into a nightmare? Max has it all: action, adventure, international settings, a touch of romance and a sci-fi tilt. Great read for all ages. - A. H. (Auckland, New Zealand) Rachel, do you dream? Of course I do. Everyone does. Do you always have the same dream? Ah, no, that'd be pretty weird. I thought so. So what's this about, Max? I have the same dream every single night. Always have, for as long as I can remember. That's definitely not normal. Even recurring dreams don't stay forever. Fast moving with a clever plot. Max kept me completely involved. Thoroughly enjoyable...waiting for the next episode. - J. G.
