This book was such a great read, I thoroughly enjoyed every single page and really didn’t want it to end. We meet Max, a young boy just at the very start of Covid-19. We follow him and his inner thoughts through the months, there’s sadness, humour and great strength in this book. His dad is a doctor and is caring for the sick so he moves out of the family home to protect them, his grandfather catches the virus, the schools are shut and he doesn’t have much contact with his pals. This story is hauntingly familiar to so many and the inner thoughts of Max and his mission of counting to a million to raise money for NHS charities is what makes this book so endearing and an absolute pleasure to read. I’d happily let the hound people on my life read this book and I’d definitely buy for and recommend to others. As this is the first book I’ve read by the author I’d be interested in any future works.
