Dave Eggers' novelisation of Maurice Sendak's timeless children's classic. He has also co-written the screenplay for the live action film version, with Spike Jonze, who also directs. Max is a 7-year old who likes to make noise and get dirty, behaviour seen as wilful and deranged in 2007. His home life is also problematic, and driven by internal and external pressures he jumps in a boat and sails across the ocean to a strange island where giant beasts reign. This is an all-ages adventure, full of wit and soul, exploring the chaos of youth while Max explores the chaos of the world around him.
