Max is kinda rescued from Tony D. and gang by Kevin. But in a way, Max also rescued Kevin. The last chapter was a little weird, with Grim and Gram discussing how to deal with Tony D. (avoid him at ALL COSTS) and doing so over coffee. One thing is certain, Grim and Gram want Max to be ok and stay out of trouble. The chapter ends with Kevin being his usual condescending self toward Max.

Max and Kevin have known each other for most of their lives. They make an unlikely pair for a friendship because they are so different. Maybe, though, that means they compliment each other quite well. Max is not particularly bright but is big for his age. Kevin is small and has mobility issues. He is also extremely intelligent. Will they make good friends? Will they help each other fit in with their peers?
