Publisher's Summary

Are you looking for a fun way to teach your child new words? Then you are in the right place! Perfect for young learners! Bonus - they learn some first-aid too!

After watching his dad do heart surgery, Maxx goes to play soccer with his besties, Arielle and Lucas. While warming up, Lucas gets slammed in the head by a soccer ball causing a bloody nose. Lucas is a mess! Can Maxx, with Arielle’s help, stop the bleeding? Will Lucas be ok?

With all the fun of an amazing adventure, Marvelous Maxx and the Soccer Ball is sure to capture the hearts and minds of children and adults alike. You won't just enjoy the story, you will feel a part of it and learn a lot!

Created by a Harvard-trained teacher to educate and inspire, children will love learning awesome new words and powerful first-aid, through the adventures of a group of children - Maxx, Arielle, Ethan, and Lucas - in a colorful journey.

Each new word is defined in simple language your child can understand, and listed in a glossary at the end e.g.I shiver. It’s frigid in here!

‘Frigid’ is a marvelous word meaning ice-cold.

Lucas looks miserable and anxious.

‘Miserable’ means unhappy.

‘Anxious’ means super-scared.

For all those asking "Are there any other 'Fancy Nancy' type books to teach new words and facts?"

The resounding answer is "YES!" Marvelous Maxx has stepped up to entertain and educate both boys and girls.

Our experts chose the perfect words so that your child will be a better reader at any age. Within each new adventure, children will learn epic words like “delectable, intriguing, rumble, distressed, anxious, swift” that will ignite their imagination. In addition, we include at least one common idiom in each book such as “The world is your oyster” which means you can do anything or go anywhere. We know you will enjoy. John & Catherine Higgins
