Billy Helps Max

Suitable for boys and girls aged 7 to 11. In this book Max, Ant's younger sister, decides she wants to be more like her older brother, and do things boys do like skateboarding, riding their bikes in the woods or playing battle games. She starts by painting her pink girlie bike a mottled shade of green. Knowing nothing about paints and painting, she covers herself in green gloss, including her hair. Green, matted and hacked at, Max's mum takes her to the hairdresser to get her hair sorted. After Max is cleaned up, her mum has a haircut. While Max and Ant wait for their mum, they visit the local bike and skateboard shop. Max sees go-faster stickers she really wants for her newly pained bike, but has no money. She has to have them, but her birthday is ages away. Giving in to temptation, she convinces herself it's okay to take them, and she hides three packets in her jacket. Does Max get caught, or will she own up to her wrong doing? Is it okay to steal from shops? After all they have lots of things in them. Find out what happens to Max and her dishonesty.
