I, Maxim Waxman is the story of a twelve-year-old boy who faces imminent death. It's about how he deals with this and the use he makes of the time he has left. His courage and determination help him strive to achieve a long held goal. To be funny.

Beekman O'Day has lived all of his twelve years in Manhattan. He's lived in fourteen different apartments, hotel rooms and hotels. He's been to nine different schools. When he has to move once again, and start a new school, he puts his foot down with his father, who makes his living making dubious deals. No more moving. No more new schools. They make a deal. A big deal. Then the deal becomes a big mess and Beekman must stand his ground or lose what he's been fighting for, including the affection of his best friend's twin sister. In the end he takes a stand and refuses to budge. He won't give up. A deal is a deal.

Miles sits by the river contemplating the upcoming summer. He has plans. His ducks are all lined up. But, as he already knows, things don't always work out the way he thought they would. On the way back to The Warburton, he experiences yet another life altering event. One that nearly takes his life. He becomes increasingly aware that the world around him is changing. His friends are moving in different directions. He withdraws. Once again it's his grandfather, Eddie, who points him in the right direction. In this, the final chapter of the Miles Freely quartet, Miles finds his footing in the last place he ever thought he would.
