Two years ago, Covid 19 was spreading across the world and families were facing lockdown. This is the story of how Max (almost 9 years old) and his family coped with the sudden change to life.
Max looks at how the lockdown stopped him going to school, cancelled his birthday party, caused his dad (a doctor) to stay away from home and caused the local supermarket to run out of fresh food (and toilet rolls!).
During this time, Max starts to count. What starts as a way to annoy his mum, inspires others to encourage him to continue, to raise money for the NHS.
I enjoyed this book (despite being a much older reader than the recommended age suggestion). An excellent blend of humour, history and counting and I’m happy to recommend it.
Personally I think this can be enjoyed by Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 students, and will be an excellent addition to school libraries.
