This book set at the start of the first lockdown of the Covid pandemic.
Its a scary time and with his father a key worker and staying at home with mam, isolated from his friends, school and normal life in general Max is struggling.
To take his mind off things he starts to count, originally told to count to a hundred by his mother Max extends this to a million.
The news spreads and it quickly gains momentum to a whole community, charity project where everyone gets behind Max and and enters him for a world record attempt.
What started off as a bit of fun and staving off the boredom of staying at home has snowballed into something positive that pulls people together in a common cause at just the time they need it.
I think this would be a great school read and a teaching aid of how we coped during dark times.
Told in a fun and humorous, child friendly way this is a good read for anyone of any age.
