Mylo and Max Break the World - Paperback

by Scott Charles (Author)

"More chaos and calamity than anyone could have anticipated." Publishers Weekly

When anxious 10-year-old Max makes a half-hearted wish, he accidentally summons Mylo, a blue-haired, unlicensed wish guide with a magical wrench that can reshape reality.

Together, they turn everyday life (and Max's terrifying piano recital) into a cascade of flying cars and ice cream (and bossy big sisters and spooky living instruments, including a ravenous concert piano named Elton Chomp) as Max's doomed wish spirals toward the very thing he'd hoped to avoid. Only now it's much worse than a piano recital...

Forced onto the biggest, strangest, most epically dangerous stage in Earth's history, can Max pull it together for one last performance-or will he become the hungry piano's next meal?

Fast, funny, and gloriously unhinged! Perfect for middle-grade readers who enjoy high-octane set pieces and slapstick humor with a dash of sci-fi whimsy.
