Max Todd and the Flu Shot Frenzies
by L. M. Nicodemo
illustrated by Graham Ross
Quick-thinking Max invents a secret game to try to stay calm at the doctor's office.
Max Todd is not looking forward to his doctor’s appointment and he is even less happy to hear he will be getting a flu shot. Max’s mom promised him that his best friend Shiv could come over if he behaves, but when Max comes down with a case of the Super Fidgets, being on his best behaviour gets tricky. Luckily, Max comes up with a silly animal game to keep his fidgets at bay and help him get through the shot.
Full colour illustrations and fun typography bring Max to life and make this book accessible to readers of all levels.

Reviews
"The target audience will surely have no trouble relating to the storylines. The blend of fun graphics by Graham Ross, with varying sizes and designs of text in the quickly paced 96 pages, will be appealing to both beginning and reluctant readers.
The series is written by a teacher who clearly has insight into the mind of a child who feels the type of anxiety that Max does . . . these books will serve as inspiration to children facing the same difficulties with their own Super Fidgets."
"Rated good, even great at times, generally useful!"
