Wholesale Negative Cat

When a boy finally gets permission to adopt a cat, he knows exactly which one to pick. But the feline Max puts the word cat into catastrophe. He ignores his toys, shows no interest in his cozy sweater, and spends his days staring at the wall. While the rest of the family loses hope, the boy's love for Max remains strong. He even starts doing the one thing he dislikes the most: reading aloud. Surprisingly, this changes everything for the better!  (This book may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
