Bookroo's summary
In their mother's bug lab, Leo and his brother face a crisis: Max, the hissing Madagascar cockroach, has escaped. With a party looming, they must find Max before he causes a scene. Will they catch him before chaos erupts, or will Max's antics turn the event into a disaster? Join the brothers in a race against time to save the day.
From the publisher
Max, a Madagascar cockroach, is as big as a bite-sized candy bar and hisses like a snake when he is mad. Leo and his brother are fascinated. Out of all of the bugs in their mother’s bug lab, Max is definitely the best. But now, Max is on the loose in the lab! To make matters worse, there’s a party there today. Leo and his brother have to find Max before he makes people scream-or worse. “A book in which everything is just right.” (School Library Journal)
