Fifth grade is off to a rocky start for Max Camp. After his mom leaves the family and moves cross-country to California, Max is forced to leave his nice house in town and move with his dad to a rundown fixer-upper in the country. Max had a million friends in his old neighborhood. Now, his only neighbor is Mrs. Pitkin: a grouchy old woman who yells at him every chance she gets! Max is miserable until a bony, beat-up stray cat wanders into his back yard. Max begins feeding and befriending the sickly animal, determined to adopt him. But Max’s financially-struggling dad is dead set against it. The stray’s health and happiness lie in Max’s hands. It’s up to him to make this adoption happen! But how can he convince his dad to come onboard?
