MAXimum boy by: Dan Greenburg
Mystery

Max known as Maximum boy lives in Detroit. He got his powers when he went to a museum and accidentally touched a rock from the moon and it gave him the ability to fly, glow in the dark, have heat ray vision, x-ray vision and the ability to run at the speed of light. After a while his sister got jealous and went to the museum and broke into the rock area and touched the same rock that Max touched and got all the same abilities that Max did. But she couldn't control as good as Max could though they teamed up as Maximum Girl and Maximum Boy. someone put glasses with noses and beards on Mount Rushmore. The president calls and tells them that. When they get someone left a note saying that they were going to pull down everyone's pants in London & France. It's a very exciting and action filled book.
I like it because Max thinks in funny ways and I can relate to him. If you like adventure you would like this book.
