Trouble on Tap

By Jake Clemons and Happy Pipes

Someone is breaking water lines across Oxford, Mississippi. And Max is starting to think it isn't an accident.

At first, it looks like another busy week for Max and the Happy Pipes crew. A dripping faucet. A busted water line. Another emergency call across town.

Then another pipe breaks.

And another.

The damage keeps spreading, the same rival plumbing company keeps showing up afterward, and a mysterious online challenge has kids all over town breaking pipes for views.

Max starts keeping track. Addresses. Photos. Times. Every broken line. Every clue.

What he discovers turns an ordinary week of service calls into something much bigger. Someone is choosing the streets. Someone is paying the kids. And someone is making a lot of money every time another pipe breaks.

With Dash helping connect the clues, Max follows the trail through Oxford and straight toward a mystery that's only beginning.

Trouble on Tap is the first Max & Friends Adventure, a full-color comic packed with mystery, humor, real-world problem solving, and a story that doesn't talk down to young readers.

And just when Max thinks he knows what's happening...

the real trouble is only getting started.

For readers ages 10-14.
