Max the Mighty

Now fourteen, Max impulsively kidnaps Worm, a younger girl who is in imminent danger of being abused by her creepy stepfather, and the two set out to find her real father. Aside from Max and Worm, the characters seem more colorful than fully fleshed out, but the two that matter the most grab your attention and engage your heart.
