Max Counts to a Million is a fun read for children, getting a first-hand P.O.V from someone they can relate to. The writing is simple yet very easy to follow and at no point did I ever feel like the author was patronising or "dumbing-down" his writing because he thinks that's what children need, which happens all too often.
At it's heart, it's really a book about the world during the Pandemic, which affected absolutely everyone no matter their age, where they lived and how much money they may or may not have. For younger readers this book is perfect: it is not condescending in the least, there is a very relatable character and the story isn't too convoluted.
For older readers it may be a little boring and honestly not a lot happens, but considering it's subject matter I feel like that's not really an issue here.
The tiny people in my life really enjoyed this book which is the main reason I read it myself. It's not one for adults to pick up of their own accord, but certainly to enjoy together it's definitely up there.
