Max's life is a bit out of control. His mom is very sick, his dad has stopped working to take care of her and as a result they aren't paying their bills. When his mom and dad leave to seek treatment, Max is left with his cousin Alex. As they are looking for things to sell to try to pay the bills they stumble upon an old chest and document left by none other than Jules Verne, a distant relative. But Max isn't the only one interested in the chest, document, and the treasure it promises. As Alex and Max embark on a worldwide journey they discover that Jules Verne's works may have not all been fantasy and a storybook villain may also have a relative.
There was lots of action and adventure here. Lots of dead beat parents lately - just leaving Max with bills left unpaid. But, kids won't mind. It is the first in a series so some things were left unfinished.
