(4) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Max (Maxine) loves tinkering with electronics, especially her souped-up wheelchair. A creepy curse, a crumbling mansion, a cyberbully, and her gruffly lovable grandfather all factor in a wild adventure. A welcome and underrepresented protagonist whose disability is adjacent to the plot rather than the main feature, Max has a complicated family and her anger is relatable. The multi-faceted mystery is a bit too jam-packed but still entertaining.
