Max is Wax and Steris's young son, a five-year-old whose small hands cling to his parents and whose enthusiasm accompanies him into new surroundings. He is carried safely in a harness during airborne adventures, often occupied by a Soonie-pup toy or a weighted wicker ball. His presence draws out Wax's tenderness and becomes part of the family life that anchors the larger dangers of the story.
Description
Max is a small five-year-old boy, with no specific complexion, hair color, eye color, or facial features stated in the text. He is often dressed for practical travel and secured in a leather harness on Wax's back, with a Soonie-pup stuffed toy or a wicker ball close at hand. His small hands and eager, childlike energy are the clearest details of his presence.
