Max Odor Does Not Stink

by Greg Trine

Just when you thought you were over junior high school.

"A entertaining, contemporary coming of age tale that subtly draws from a archetypal well." – Kirkus

Max Odor is the kid brother to a legend. His older brother Jason is an all-state running back at the local high school, but what he’s most remembered for is that he was the only seventh grader ever to make it across the ninth-grade lawn untouched at Robert Frost Junior High School.

And Max knows what his fellow classmates are thinking. Does he have what it takes? Does speed run in the family? Will he rise to the occasion and repeat history? Or does rising to the occasion mean something altogether different?

Add to this a first crush, a librarian who might be a ghost, and two life-changing friendships, and maybe…just maybe Max will survive seventh grade.
