The Wild Things by Dave Eggers

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • In this visionary adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s classic work, the bestselling author of The Circle “is brilliant at portraying the exuberance and chaos of a young boy’s mind and heart” (San Francisco Chronicle). 

Max is a rambunctious eight-year-old whose world is changing around him: His father is absent, his mother is increasingly distracted, and his teenage sister has outgrown him. Sad and angry, Max dons his wolf suit and makes terrible, ruinous mischief, flooding his sister’s room and driving his mother half-crazy. Convinced his family doesn’t want him anymore, Max flees home, finds a boat and sails away. Arriving on an island, he meets strange and giant creatures who rage and break things, who trample and scream. These beasts do everything Max feels inside, and so, Max appoints himself their king.

Here, on a magnificent adventure with these funny and complex monsters, Max can be the wildest thing of all.
