Max Rose-Rodriguez has more important things to do than finishing sixth grade--like stopping the biggest art heist the universe has ever known.

Sixth-grader Max has it rough between tormentors at school and his sick--ever-worsening--mom at home. But then DZ, a strange, tuxedoed man with one shoe, appears to Max from the future and divulges that Max's mother's fate is somehow entwined with that of Vincent van Gogh's The Starry Night. It's suddenly clear to Max that any problems he already had on his plate have just gotten bigger.

DZ explains to Max that someone is after The Starry Night. . . and the thief is not bound by the usual laws of time and space.

I have questions, Max tells DZ. But DZ can't offer too many specifics. What he can provide Max is a cryptic to-do list:

  • Read The Future Time Traveler's Guide to the Past
  • Consider the puffins
  • Beware the Wretch with obsidian eyes.
  • Befriend Vincent van Gogh
