Max Meow Book 1: Cat Crusader cover

In a world where cats reign, a regular cat named Max becomes a superhero after a surprising encounter with a radioactive meatball. Can he and his friend Mindy save Kittyopolis?

Max Meow Book 1: Cat Crusader introduces readers to the whimsical world of Kittyopolis, where cats reign supreme and science takes center stage. The story follows Max, an ordinary cat with dreams of becoming a successful podcaster, who finds himself on an unexpected adventure. His life takes a dramatic turn when he accidentally consumes a radioactive space meatball in the secret lab of his best friend, Mindy, a brilliant scientist. This incident transforms him into the Cat Crusader, a superhero with extraordinary abilities.

As the Cat Crusader, Max discovers the perks of his new powers, including super strength and the ability to fly. However, he quickly learns that with great power comes great responsibility. His newfound abilities lead him to become overconfident, causing a rift in his friendship with Mindy. The narrative explores themes of friendship, humility, and the importance of teamwork as Max grapples with the consequences of his actions. Will he be able to mend his friendship and work alongside Mindy to combat the sinister plans of the evil Agent M and the formidable Big Boss?
