Maxx Rumble’s sporting adventures are absolutely incredible – to say the least! You will hardly believe what goes on during a thrilling, and sometimes bizarre, season of cricket.
Everyone was laughing – the batters, the fielders, even the umpires! This was bad, I thought.
I’m getting laughed at! I’m getting teased! I’m getting SLEDGED!
How can Maxx lead his team to victory when super-sledger Thelma “Thrasher” Thatcher keeps putting him off?

Reviews
These valuably imaginative easy to read stories with their well-matched brilliant cartoon illustrations are just … right for those sports mad young boys for whom reading is a chore, but they would be great for any reader, young and old, and good for story-telling sessions as well for aged 7 to 10 and up.
