Max and Mia - Poor Max

“Max & Mia - Poor Max” is the story of Max, who accidentally gets hurt as he falls into a hole. Luckily, Mia passes by and is able to help - using needle, thread and electricity. The story is loosely inspired by Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein”, and the language is slightly inappropriate.

I wrote “Max & Mia - Poor Max” for my own daughter when she was learning how to read, and the book has been published in the hope that it may help and amuse other kids as well.

- Anders Rauff-Nielsen

This is the first book in the “Max & Mia - Learn to read” series and uses only 1 to 4 letter words.
