Welcome to Max's secret collection of random thoughts about school, family breakups, and the power of Alien Eraser. Pimply older brothers. Good parents who get into bad fights. Lucky for Max, he has a place to jot down his mixed-up thoughts and brilliant ideas. In a quirky mix of comics, concoctions, and contraptions, Max tells the story of his topsy-turvy life, and how he tries to hold it and himself all together.
