In the year 2424, it seems crazy that people once needed film to take photos. Max and Oscar – Bluggsville’s smartest sleuths – are shocked when they find a 400-year-old roll of film. They’re even more shocked to discover that it still seems to contain someone’s happy snap!
Unfortunately, they’re not the only people who realise how rare, and valuable, this photo could be. Max and Oscar are going to need all of their wits to make sure the photo ends up in the museum, where it belongs!

There's a new sleuth in town - he's fun, funny, and very 2424!
Max Booth is an 11-year-old "shadie" urchin living in the year 2424, struggling to survive.
With the chance to make some money by uncovering the secrets of mysterious "gadgets" from the 20th century for the Bluggsville City Museum, Max and his faithful (but slightly neurotic) robo-dog Oscar, start investigating.
But the path to success is never easy, and there are sinister tricks, strange characters and lots of challenges along the way. Join the adventure in this fabulous series full of mystery, surprises and suspense. Ideal for reluctant readers.
