The Misadventures of Max Crumbly: Locker Hero

The Misadventures of Max Crumbly: Locker Hero is the first book in the spin-off to the popular Dork Diaries series. When asked, the author of both series, Rachel Renée Russell said that she made the Max Crumbly series upon request of the male fans of Dork Diaries. "And I had to fulfil the requests," she said in an interview.

Synopsis
Max Crumbly is about to face the scariest place he’s ever been: South Ridge Middle School.

There’s a lot that’s great about his new school, but there’s also one big problem — Doug Thurston (aka Thug), the school bully whose hobby is stuffing Max in his locker.

If only Max could be like the hero in his favorite comics. Unfortunately, Max’s uncanny, almost superhuman ability to smell pizza from a block away won’t exactly save any lives or foil bad guys.

But that doesn’t mean Max won’t do his best to be the hero his school needs!
