Maxi's Secrets: (or what you can learn from a dog)

When a BIG, lovable, does-it-her-way dog wiggles her way into the heart of a loudmouth pipsqueak of a boy, wonderful things happen that help him become a bigger, better person. With its diverse cast, authentic narrator, and perfect blend of spot-on middle-grade humor, drama, and wisdom, this powerful debut is relatable, funny, bittersweet, and full of heart.
Â
Timminy knows that moving to a new town just in time to start middle school when you are perfect bully bait is less than ideal. But he gets a great consolation prize in Maxiâ€”a gentle giant of a dog who the family quickly discovers is deaf. Timminy is determined to do all he can to help Maxiâ€”after all, his parents didn't return him because he was a runt. But when the going gets rough for Timminy, who spends a little too much time getting shoved into lockers at school, Maxi ends up being the one to help himâ€”along with their neighbor, Abby, who doesnâ€™t let her blindness define her and bristles at Timminyâ€™s â€œpoor-meâ€ attitude. It turns out thereâ€™s more to everyone than whatâ€™s on the surface, whether it comes to Abby, Maxi, or even Timminy himself.
