Chapter 23: In the beginning of chapter 23 Max isn’t allowed to go to the ICU, but he still goes over there and saw Gwen and she took him in to see Kevin. Kevin is in the ICU, but Max isn’t scared until he sees Kevin in the room and all of the tubes he is hooked up to. When he is in there Max asks Kevin if it hurts, but he says no. Kevin said he has a present for Max and it reminds Max of the dictionary Kevin got him for Christmas, and when Max opens it, it’s blank. Freak tells him that he wants him to fill it up with all of their adventures. Then Kevin's doctor comes in the room and tells Max to get out and let them do their work.
