This comic action adventure stars nine-year-old Max, who has the unusual ability to turn into an enormous, hairy monster whenever he burps. You can imagine how much fun that is, though it’s unfortunate that if he sneezes he turns back into a boy, frequently a boy dressed only in his underpants at that (superhero problems, heh). With the encouragement of his parents – changing into a monster, bat or wolf isn’t considered unusual at all where Max’s mum is from – Max is determined to make doing good and helping people his modus operandi, but his reputation is threatened when another mysterious creature arrives in town with very different ideas. On top of that, Max has a nemesis to deal with, in the shape of also nine-year-old Peregrine and his Personal Animal Nano Tracking Sonar, aka P.A.N.T.S. All of this plus some interesting back stories about Max’s mum make this very satisfying reading and monster fun. Max will be back in further books which is good news.

Monster Max and the Bobble Hat of Forgetting Synopsis
This is Max. Everything normal here. Nothing weird about Max ... until he burps. When Max burps he becomes a huge monster, with teeth like swords, who can jump over buildings, roar and eat whole dustbins. It's great being a monster and saving people, his aim 'to protect and do good stuff', unless he sneezes when he didn't mean to, changes back, and finds himself far from home in just his pants. But something starts causing a lot of damage in their quiet suburb, and it isn't Max. His nemesis, Peregrine, a boy his age, is relentlessly on the trail of this monster, and has invented his POOP (Portable Operating Omni Prison) machine to trap it. Max has to catch the real culprit, before Peregrine can catch him... An irresistible mix of slapstick comedy and action adventure, packed full of chases, inventions, battles and bum jokes. First in a series for 7-9s. 'Bonkers from start to finish. And I mean that in a GOOD way' - Philip Ardagh
