A brand-new series from #1 NYT bestselling Dork Diaries author Rachel Renee Russell! Introducing Max Crumbly, the new Dork on the block... Max is about to face the scariest place he’s ever been – South Ridge Middle School! He has been home-schooled by his grandmother until now, and he’s begged his parents to finally let him start attending a real school. He’s starting to question that choice, though, with the Doug aka Thug Thurston Problem. As in, Thug keeps stuffing Max in his locker. If only Max could be like the hero in all the comics he likes to read – or the ones he draws – and magically escape the locker and defeat Thug. Unfortunately, Max’s uncanny, almost superhuman ability to smell pizza from a block away won’t exactly save any lives or foil bad guys. But that doesn’t mean Max won’t do his best to be the hero his school needs! Praise for Max Crumbly: 'This wacky middle-school misadventure will delight Wimpy Kid and Tom Gates fans, particularly with its humorous tone and illustrations. Russell’s new series boasts a memorable character in Max Crumbly, who is capable of rivalling Dork Diaries’ Nikki Maxwell.' Booklist ‘If you like Tom Gates, Diary of a Wimpy Kid and, of course, Dork Diaries you’ll love this very funny new book series’ The Sun ‘Rachel Renée Russell had a huge success with her Dork Diaries and is back with The Misadventures of Max Crumbly: Locker Hero’ Sunday Express ‘Written in journal format and peppered with humorous illustrations, Max's (mis)adventures are sure to be a hit’ Booktrust ‘Bestselling Dork Diaries author Rachel Renée Russell has done it again – her brand-new series is amazing!’ SPLAT magazine ‘One of the strongest launch titles for a new series for a long time. It's just right on so many levels’ Bookbag ‘Cleverly ending on a cliffhanger, full of brilliant illustrations and easy to follow text, this series is bound to be a hit with readers of all abilities!’ Hot Brands Cool Places ‘It’s a funny and exciting book for kids aged around 7-11 and I’m sure both boys and girls would enjoy it’ A Mum Reviews

I have read this book

I enjoyed the first book in the new series as I got to meet Max Crumbly the new hero and his adventures in High School. Funny throughout but I can't wait for the next book to continue as it was left open (a cliff-hanger). I would recommend this book and the Dork Diaries as it is easy reading with small paragraphs and pictures along the way and it is fantastic for anyone who has a reading difficulty or who doesn't like chapter books.

This book was very good. Part of my favourite comic series and I have read this lots of times before. I like how they thought there was a new villain but Dr Scum thought he wasn’t a new villain because he was in book one.

I liked the book because it was my very first Max Crumbly book it’s also another book that tells me more about secondary school and I never read a book created by Rachel Renée Russell and is also the creator of Dork Diaries and my uncle has about over 400 Dork Diaries! Isn’t it incredible!

I like Max because he is so funny and silly. Also, I am interested of certain parts but I like this book. Finally, I would like to recommend this book to someone else because it is funny, hilarious and tedious.

my favourite person was the janitor because when max was stuck in his locker the janitor paid no attention to max and sang to his favourite song , played air guitar on his mop and did a twenty foot knee slide down the hall. I would recommend this book to anyone.
