Call Me Max by Kyle Lukoff

When Max starts school, the teacher hesitates to call out the name on the attendance sheet. Something doesn’t seem to fit. Max lets her know the name he wants to be called by—a boy’s name. This begins Max’s journey as he makes new friends and reveals his feelings about his identity to his parents. 

Max and the Talent Show

Max’s friend Steven is great at many things. But more than anything else, Steven can tell a story. When Steven signs up for the school’s talent show, Max signs up to be his assistant. After selecting that just-right dress and those just-right shoes for the show, the moment arrives. Stephen steps onto the stage. The lights shine brightly in his face. He looks out into the crowd realizing he has prepared everything, except the one thing that matters-his performance. What will Max, standing in the wings, do to help his friend?

Max on the Farm

When their class goes on a field trip to a local farm, Teresa convinces Max to sneak out after dark to see the baby piglets. When the mama pig voices her unhappiness, the squeals wake up the farmer and the entire class. How will Max and Teresa get out of this big, muddy mess?
