Max Tilt: 80 Days or Die

When thirteen-year-old Max Tilt stumbled across his great-great-great-grandfather Jules Verne's unfinished, unpublished manuscript, The Lost Treasure, he thought he had the answer to all his problems, but nothing in life is ever that easy. When a friend falls seriously ill, Max sees a way that can help if he's daring enough to try.

In the story of Verne's impossible recovery from a near-fatal gun-shot wound, Max and his cousin Alex think they've found the clues that just might be the key to a cure. They learn that after the attack Verne didn't just survive, he thrived. And the book hints that he was only able to do so after collecting magical healing elements during his famous race around the world.

Piecing together hints from Verne's Around the World in Eighty Days and his lost manuscript, Max and Alex are on another race against time in the second installment of the action-packed adventure series from master storyteller Peter Lerangis.
