    2 | COUNT BY MELVIN BURGESS :

Max, however, is determined to use his power for good. So, when another mysterious monster shows up to cause havoc in his suburb, it’s his mission to catch it – before his nemesis Peregrine with his POOP (Portable Operating Omni Prison) machine gets there first!

Her new powerful friends - "The Resistance" - are a team of mind-readers set on taking down a brainwashing supervillain. There’s just one small problem: Opie can’t read minds at all – human minds, anyway. Instead, Opie has the ability to read the thoughts of animals.
