Sometimes, the smallest dog has the biggest job.
In Max’s Story, bestselling author W. Bruce Cameron introduces young readers to Max, a lively little Yorkie who isn’t so sure about the big city. Everything is noisy, crowded, and a bit overwhelming—especially for a pup who’d rather run free than follow a leash.
But Max’s world changes when he meets CJ, a girl who’s struggling to find her own place. Max may be small, but he discovers that helping CJ might just be his true purpose. Told from the dog’s perspective, this sweet and heartfelt story captures the bond between pets and their people, with humor, heart, and tail-wagging joy.
Perfect for fans of A Dog’s Purpose, Because of Winn-Dixie, and The One and Only Ivan, Max’s Story shows that love, loyalty, and friendship come in all sizes.
