Max isn’t sure what to do when he finds a friend asleep in a toilet cubicle at school. When he learns the reason, he can totally understand it. The new video game that has taken over Redhill Middle School is behind the toilet snoring, and there will be many more hours of lost sleep on the way.

Max’s friend is going to have a birthday party based around the game. The entire class is invited, including Max’s nemesis Abby, and he does his best to try and convince her not to come. Unfortunately this makes Abby more determined to attend, and once again, she is his ‘spanner in the works’ – upsetting his game play.

As usual, Max aspires to be the best among his peers, and this time its to be at the top of the leader board for this game. But there is someone he can’t seem to beat. It’s driving him crazy, not knowing who it is, and when he finally learns the truth he is amazed.

Another hilarious, laugh out loud tale from Max – Funny Kid.

This episode will capture and delight even more readers with its humour and topic of video gaming.

I love the way you can read this series of books in any order, as 11 year old Max deals with a school nemesis, a pet duck, a baby sister and parents who solve household issues with a family court session in their lounge.

Love to laugh? – try the Funny Kid series.
