Enter the Core concludes the epic, “ground-breaking” Max Tilt series!
Max Tilt and Alex Verne, with the help of cryptic notes left by their great-great-great-grandfather, the famous sci-fi writer Jules Verne, take on the ultimate challenge. The miraculous formula that has saved Max’s mom has been stolen from under their noses, and if they don’t find it, the consequences will be deadly. It’s a heart-pounding adventure that includes a prison break, a plane crash, a journey into a volcano, a fateful game of darts at Harvard, and a three-humped Icelandic camel. Not necessarily in that order. And it’s the long-awaited final book to conclude the series, following Fire the Depths and 80 Days or Die.

School Library Journal says, “Lerangis brings Jules Verne to life for a new generation, and instantly pulls readers in with enticing clues, fast-paced action, and intriguing characters.” According to Booklist, “With an action-filled plot that moves at a breakneck pace and each chapter ending on a cliff-hanger, this series starter may have young readers reaching for the Verne classic that inspired this adventure, while waiting for more from Max and Alex.” More about Max Tilt …
