There's a new sleuth in town - he's fun, funny, and very 2424!

Max Booth is an 11-year-old "shadie" urchin living in the year 2424, struggling to survive.

With the chance to make some money by uncovering the secrets of mysterious "gadgets" from the 20th century for the Bluggsville City Museum, Max and his faithful (but slightly neurotic) robo-dog Oscar, start investigating.

But the path to success is never easy, and there are sinister tricks, strange characters and lots of challenges along the way. Join the adventure in this fabulous series full of mystery, surprises and suspense. Ideal for reluctant readers.
