(4) 4-6 Misadventures of Max Crumbly series. With Nikki Russell and Erin Russell. Eighth-grade geek Max records his attempts to navigate a new school, a first crush, and brutish bully Doug, who traps Max in his locker over the long weekend. When he escapes, Max stumbles upon a robbery in the school computer lab. Many tweens will enjoy the over-the-top, sitcom-style drama; the Dork Diaries author employs similar handwriting-like font and manga-style drawings in this new series.
