      Chapter 1

      An Early Surprise

      It was still too dark to get out of bed. Even my big brother Cody wasn’t awake yet.

      Ugh, I whined into my pillow. I pushed down the covers and stared at the ceiling.

      How could I, Max E. James, not sleep? Today is my birthday and we’re having a party! I’ve waited a whole year already and only have a few more hours to go. But hours feel like days when you’re as excited as I am.

      Hello, Jo-Jo, I said. Are you allowed out of your room this early?

      Not really, he said. But I couldn’t sleep.

      Me neither.
