The Misadventures of Max McMuddle

Meet Max McMuddle, an 11-year-old master of accidental chaos whose life is a never-ending series of mishaps, misadventures, and hilarious disasters. With his fearless best friend Tommy at his side, Max stumbles through school, family life, and friendship, turning everyday situations into epic tales of trouble and triumph. In this laugh-out-loud adventure, Max is determined to survive his school's annual field trip to Fiasco Falls, a majestic waterfall known for its breathtaking views and treacherous terrain. With the promise of no schoolwork, sugary snacks, and endless possibilities for chaos, Max and Tommy can't wait to turn the day into their ultimate adventure. But when their "genius" ideas—like building a robot that goes haywire at the science fair, sneaking off the safe trails, and crossing forbidden rope bridges—inevitably backfire, the boys find themselves in one hilarious mess after another. From malfunctioning inventions to runaway field trip disasters, Max and Tommy learn that no plan is ever foolproof, especially when you're a magnet for mischief. As they navigate teachers' glares, broken bridges, and unexpected plunges into freezing water, Max discovers that life's biggest lessons aren't always found in textbooks. With each wild escapade, Max and Tommy's friendship is put to the test, proving that the best adventures are the ones you never see coming. Full of laugh-out-loud moments, zany illustrations, and the kind of heartwarming chaos only Max McMuddle can deliver, Max McMuddle and the Field Trip Fiasco is a delightful tale of friendship, resilience, and the funny side of making mistakes. Perfect for fans of middle-grade humor, this book is a reminder that sometimes the best memories come from life's biggest messes—and that every misstep is just another chapter in the adventure of growing up.
