BOOK ONE · THE TRY-AGAIN POWER
Max and the Power
of Trying Again
Max has a big idea: build a flying machine for Invention Day. There’s only one problem—his inventions keep crashing.
With Mia’s careful notes, Leo’s fearless test runs, and a little wisdom from the wonderfully eccentric Mr. Bright, Max discovers that trying again isn’t about doing the same thing harder. It’s about becoming a smarter builder with every attempt.
“The goal isn’t to never fail. The goal is to never waste a failure.”
