One night, three friends went into the woods. When Max got scared and ran, he had no idea something awful was going to happen to his friend Will. Now Will's unconscious and Joey's not speaking to him. The more Max hears, the more everyone's stories don't add up. He begins digging, pushing to uncover the truth, no matter what the consequences.
The mystery provides tension without getting too dark. While Max's family has their struggles, they also provide loving if quirky adult characters. Max's dad uses the family as test subjects for his spicy granola ideas, while Max's uncle Cal drops by to live in his van in the driveway. Each relationship helps Max come to some realizations about himself and the world.
This book provides valuable representation for kids with ADHD. The insights into Max's thoughts, worldview and challenges will resonate with many kids. While Max sometimes struggles to fit into a world that isn't built for him, and his therapist provides coping mechanisms to help him succeed, the book never looks down on him for his differences. Instead, it shows Max finding valuable friendships with people who accept him just the way he is. Max also identifies an adult in his life who possibly has undiagnosed ADHD.
In the end, it turns out Max was the perfect person to find out what happened to Will that night.
