The Max Effect

This book isn't just a story-it's an adventure through the everyday struggles of growing up. Through Max's journey, young readers will see that small habits, tiny changes, and daily choices can lead to something big. Max isn't perfect-far from it. He messes up, struggles with challenges, and sometimes wants to quit. But that's what makes him real. Whether it's trying to master a skateboard trick, survive an unexpected babysitting job, or keep his room clean for more than a day, every challenge teaches him something new. And through it all, he discovers that growth isn't about overnight success-it's about small wins, showing up, and trying again.

At its heart, The Max Effect is a story about persistence, friendship, and the power of tiny habits. It's tested and approved by my kids, who inspire me daily with their curiosity, determination, and endless questions.

So, to every young reader out there: I hope Max's journey makes you laugh, think, and maybe even try a new habit or two. Because just like Max, you're capable of amazing things-one small step at a time.
