Nothing's going right for Maxwell Beckett. He's being blamed for his best friend's bloody nose - it was an accident! - his parents can't stop shouting at each other, and he just broke his neighbor's bright pink flamingo lawn ornament. So when Maxwell turns off the power in his school during a giant fundraiser, it's the last straw. He’s sure that now the whole town hates him. Maxwell is sick and tired of getting things wrong. He wishes he had never been born. And then...his wish comes true. He's been erased.

Eleven-year-old Maxwell is always, always in trouble. Roaming the town with his beloved pet dog, Monster (who he rescued as a puppy from being run over), as a way to escape his parents' constant sniping at home, he's a menace to the neighbours and teachers at school. While visiting an elderly neighbour, Maxwell comes across a mysterious cabinet of curiosities and suddenly finds himself erased from his life: it's as if he's never existed. Able to walk around anonymously might be great at first, but he soon realises that he misses his old life, and, crucially, if he had never existed, then he wouldn't have swooped in and stopped Monster the dog from being hit by that car....
