Max and The Mysterious Light: Finding the Off Switch

By Mila Jimenez

What happens when the screen bites back?

Eight-year-old Max loves exploring his big backyard and learning about animals. But lately, he's been captured by a thrilling, high-score obsession. The dazzling, flashing world of video games has pulled him in, and his parents are desperate to find the off switch.

When a mysterious fire rainbow pulls Max into a strange, luminous world made of glowing pixels and swirling code, he quickly realizes this isn't a game. He's faced with a shadowy figure known as Dr. Dopamine, an evil genius who uses "magnetic" apps and "tiny traps" to keep kids glued to their screens.

Alone, Max is losing the battle against this invisible screen addiction. But hope arrives in the form of unlikely guides-a wise owl, a clever fox, and an ancient turtle-who show Max that the courage he needs isn't found in a digital weapon, but in the power of his faith and self-control.
