The brand new read-in-one-sitting mystery from the author of
unforgettable bestseller The Goldfish Boy.
Maxwell is always in trouble. He’s a total menace to his teachers
and big sister, but has a soft side, too: he rescued his dog,
Monster, from being run over and checks on his elderly neighbour
after school.

One day, while looking through a mysterious cabinet of curiosities, Maxwell finds himself erased from his life: it’s as if he’s never been born. At first, being able to walk around without being yelled at is great, but Maxwell starts to miss his old life. And, if he’d never existed, then he wouldn’t have swooped Monster out of the path of that car… A story of family, friendship and finding your place in the world.

Heart-breaking, all about the consequences of action and the ripples of the butterfly effect . It is very sad but I am glad he manages to get back to his time and space I am also grateful that he and Charlie are friends again ! Similar books to this are The Boy who sailed the ocean in an armchair, The boy who fooled the world and The Time Travel Twins !

The best part was when Maxwell started trying to fix things. It made me happy to see him realize that even if you mess up, you can always try to make things better. The story was exciting and funny, but it also made me think about what’s really important, like family and friends.

It was a very moving story. I loved Reg the most because he was very kind and full of love and stories. I would recommend it to anyone who loves mysteries and excitement.

I loved this book, I totally recommend this to mystery lovers. Maxwell is a very naughty boy, he was not allowed to school ball but he sneaked in that night and turned the power off. Suddenly he had erased himself!
