Max is about to finish high school. On the surface it appears he has everything, but underneath he is floundering. Grappling with questions about his birth parents and his sexuality, he feels that there is a seed of badness deep within him that will inevitably be exposed.

Does that sound like a familiar story to you? It’s the basis of a new novel called Max – by author Avi Ducker-Jones.
