K-3
Illustrated by
Tara Calahan King.
Because his Halloween alter ego, Captain Crusader, is so popular at his new school, Max wants to keep wearing his costume even after the holiday is over.

The offbeat illustrations for this satisfying story portray Max's real life along with glimpses of his imaginary adventures.
