Dear D.J., We saw my uncle Derek in a play at Christmas. He was so funny, Mum had tears rolling down her cheeks. Now I want to write a really funny play to make her laugh some more. Please, will you help me? Love from Max And so continues Max s funny correspondence with his favorite author, D.J. Lucas. As Max reveals his secrets and worries, a story about love, sharing, and growing up begins to emerge. Bravo, Max! will have fans cheering for Max all over again!
