As Mister Max, Solutioneer, he has kept his own troubles, and his true identity, to himself. But if he is going to solve the problem of his missing parents, he'll need to let a few people in on his secrets. He's puzzled out where his parents are being held, and it's clear they won't escape without his help. He even has a rescue plan (or the beginnings of one). It's a plan so big, so daring, it requires the help of a king just to set it in motion. But why would a king help Max? Max will need every scrap of cleverness and bravery he can muster. He'll need the help of all of his friends (and even a few enemies) for his plan to succeed. And with lives at stake, failure isn't an option.
