When we last left our hero, Max Crumbly, he had crash-landed on top of a Mighty Meat Monster pizza after taking a late night tumble through the vents at South Ridge Middle School—and he was completely surrounded by three ruthless criminals!

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 4–6—The first volume of this series concluded with Max landing on the pizza of the villains who were stealing the school's computers. This next installment follows his attempts to retrieve his father's prize comic book and thwart the thieves before his partner in high jinks, Erin, calls the police. Caught in the school building after hours because a school bully trapped him in a locker, Max now tries to capture the leisurely and incompetent criminals by sliming them with cookie dough, enticing them up a gym rope ladder tied to a fan, and luring one into a bathroom stall that explodes into a poop fountain. Along the way, he relays anecdotes about previous mishaps and connects further with his crush and technical adviser, Erin. Max also struggles with his asthma and gets in trouble at home because of his adventures. This notebook-style novel includes crossed-out text (when Max tries to edit his own story), rap lyrics, jokes about bodily functions, and digs at the insufficiencies of the school building and the criminals' abilities. The computer thieves are still on the loose at the end, so another entry can be expected. VERDICT Student demand will make this purchase a necessity. Those who prefer a bit more plot and character development may find Tommy Greenwald's "Charlie Joe Jackson" or Nate Peirce's "Big Nate" titles to be equally amusing but more substantial reads.—Karen Yingling, Blendon Middle School, Westerville, OH

My 7 year old came home and asked to use his birthday money to order this right away as he couldn't stand the cliff hanger at the end of the 1st book. As soon as it arrived in the mail he opened it up and got to work reading it. We found out in the morning that even though he tried to go to sleep at bed time he just couldn't so he stayed up and finished it that night! Thank goodness it was summer vacation ;)

My son is 9 and reads a lot. He loves this book because of the pictures, the excitement, and the way the lettering is fun and bold. He’s read through the book so quickly we got two others comings.
