Some minds don't get lost. They just take detours.
Max Fletcher's brain has a habit of wandering off.
It drifts during conversations, disappears during instructions, and vanishes completely at the worst possible moments. And now that it's the school holidays, Max's imagination has decided to roam further than ever.
When a new neighbour moves in, Athena Maye, a girl whose brain zigzags in a different but familiar way, Max begins to notice something surprising. Athena's daydreams don't look like his. They're quieter. More careful. Often hidden. But they lead to ideas Max would never have found alone.
As Max's thoughts wander off-track, he starts to realise something important.
Maybe wandering isn't the problem.
Maybe some brains are just built to explore.
Max and the Daydream Detour is a funny, thoughtful children's story about daydreaming, difference, and discovering that there's more than one way to think. Perfect for readers who've ever been told to pay attention and wondered why it's so hard, this second book in The Popcorn Brain Adventures celebrates imagination, friendship, and minds that work in their own unique way.
