It's a spooky Halloween puppet show with fun for everyone! When Red's Halloween candy goes missing, only one detective is clever enough, brave enough, and smart enough to solve the case - Mystery Max! Join Max on a wild adventure to find Red's missing candy. Along the way, we'll meet crazy characters, make new friends, sing songs, and find clues. Whodunit? Themes in this story include resolving conflict, persisting through challenges, engaging in conversation, and identifying and expressing emotions appropriately.
