Max and the Lowrider Car: Hound's Glenn Series * Book One Tonton Jim 1. izdevums

Whether or not lowriders are your thing, this heartwarming seven-chapter book will bring you a smile and keep you turning the pages. Author Tonton Jim has created a story to be enjoyed by kids and grownups alike. The humor ranges from tongue-in-cheek wordplay to fairly hilarious silliness. Charming and colorful pencil-and-watercolor illustrations by E. Felix Lyon help bring Jim's memorable characters to life. Max and the Lowrider Car is the first in the Hound's Glenn series.

In the town of Hound's Glenn, the inhabitants are dogs and wolves. The kids can be kids, the teenagers are ? well, you know ? and the grownups act ? grown up. It's a good place. You'll like it. Max lives there.

Max has an especially creative mind for a wolf cub in the fifth grade. Even so, when his teacher gives him an assignment to find something AMAZING to write about in their small town, Max is pretty sure that?s impossible. Then he discovers Mr. L. Lobo?s auto body shop and his AMAZING customized car, Numero Uno, and life changes for Max, his friends, his big brother, and nearly everyone else in the town.

The quest for more cars to customize leads a small mixed band of adventurers (wolves and hounds, pups and grownups) on a road trip complete with campfire monster stories, motorcycle-riding wild boars, and an invasion by a townful of very perturbed birds. But don?t worry ? in the end Max dreams up a way to fix everything.
