Max on the Farm — Kyle Lukoff

Max’s friend Steven is great at many things. But more than anything else, Steven can tell a story. His stories have the ability to change listeners’ initial impressions of people and situations. When Steven signs up for the school’s talent show, Max signs up to be his assistant. After selecting that just right dress and those just-right shoes for the show, the moment arrives. Steven steps onto the stage. The lights shine brightly in his face. He looks out into the crowd knowing he has prepared everything, except the one thing that matters—his performance. What will Max, standing in the wings, do to help his friend?
