Max is like millions of other children, his normal world has changed and his new way of life is home schooling and staying at home with his mother while his father is a front line worker.
After a ticking off from his mam he is told to count to a hundred.
But Max is taking it further, he is trying to count to a million.
He started doing the extra counting as a personal challenge but somehow its gone beyond that and is a community event.

This book set at the start of the first lockdown of the Covid pandemic.
Its a scary time and with his father a key worker and staying at home with mam, isolated from his friends, school and normal life in general Max is struggling.
To take his mind off things he starts to count, originally told to count to a hundred by his mother Max extends this to a million.
The news spreads and it quickly gains momentum to a whole community, charity project.

The world is in lockdown during the first wave of the pandemic.
Max and his family are struggling cope just like everyone else, with his father as a key worker tensions can also run high.
After a disagreement with his mam as a way of escaping the isolation he feels he starts to count, the counting goes on until he decides he will only stop when he hits a million.
But what was originally a silly counting game has turned into a local frenzy.
