About this audiobook

Meet Max-a very special dog with a very important purpose. Here is another irresistible tale in the bestselling series for middle grade readers adapted from the New York Times and USA Today bestselling novel A Dog's Purpose and A Dog's Journey by W. Bruce Cameron.

As soon as he sets eyes on CJ, Max knows that she's his girl and quickly figures out his purpose: to show her how to navigate the big city. Being a native New Yorker, Max knows how to take charge, even though he's the smallest dog at the park. At the same time, with CJ's help, Max learns that he doesn't always have to be ferocious-sometimes, he can be "gentle Max" and make friends.

Young fans of Ellie's Story, Bailey's Story, and Molly's Story will love Max's Story, the story of a little dog in the big city.

    Max is a tiny Yorkie with a big ego in this tale, a puppy born at the pet rescue center, now desperately needing a home. Grace is a girl displaced to the big city, struggling to find the self-confidence she needs to succeed. And Max’s Story is where they meet—a dog with a purpose, finding the person he was always meant to help; a dog with spirit, learning slowly that spirit doesn’t always have to be loud and dangerous; and a girl with talent just waiting to show itself.Max’s Story is a middle-grade novel, set in New York, and told very convincingly from the dog’s point of view. The writing is warmly inviting, encouraging misfit readers to identify with the dog and understand how actions seem different from intent. Max, though tiny, is profoundly confident of his power, while Grace, the human protagonist and Max's designated friend, is afraid to trust her own talent. These over and under-confident characters must learn to work together in this tale, and the story grows to a satisfying ending (but don’t fail to read the “bonus chapter” which brings things really to a close).Wise questions and lesson plans fill the gap between last and bonus chapters in this small book. They’re helpful and well-designed—perhaps they’re inserted there to encourage readers to read them, and they’re well worth reading, though slightly distracting. Like I said, don't miss that "bonus" ending.A very fun short novel for kids and their carers.Disclosure: I borrowed this book from a friend.
