By Dave Eggers

Favorite quote: “This is why Max loved Mr. Beckmann: he was an equal. He seemed to have navigated his way through seven or so decades of adulthood without forgetting one moment of his childhood- what he loved and hated, feared and coveted.”

“He was warm, partly because he had on many layers, and partly because boys who are part wolf and part wind do not get cold.”

Favorite review: “Eggers, in this funny and touching novelization of Maurice Sendak’s picture book, is brilliant at portraying the exuberance and chaos of a young boy’s mind and heart.” —San Francisco Chronicle
