What
happens when a child's imagination runs wild? After Max was sent to his
room for misbehaving he never thought that he would have the adventure
of his life. Trees start growing, walls start disappearing, and his room
doesn't look like his room anymore! He then sails on a boat to an island
where "The Wild Things" are. Max not knowing what to do, does a magic trick
to frighten the wild things. How he becomes King we will never know! Creating
rumpus in the forest was the best time he ever had. Will Max stay on the
island forever, or will he miss his home life? Does this dream ever end?
