Book Cover & Preview Text
By October, Max’s friends seemed to be a little distant. They didn’t talk to her as much and seemed to ignore her. They all met at the stop sign to walk over to the elementary. One day, they handed her a note that said, “Do not sit with us, talk to us, or walk with us.
You are not in our group anymore! You are a nobody!”

About the Book
Have you ever felt lost . . . so alone that you don’t know where to turn? Have you felt betrayed by adults and “friends”? This is especially difficult for a ten or twelve-year-old without mature tools to sort out the difficult parts of life. Max is telling the readers to have hope, have courage, and that love never fails.
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1).
“I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well” (Psalm 139:14).
