Charlie is an irresistibly funny little brother who manages to get into all kinds of scrapes. Whether he's trying to hinder or help his brother Max and best friend Henry, trouble is guaranteed! In the fist story, the new boy at school says his dad is on a rocket, flying to a star. Charlie knows Zachary is lying. No one has a dad that cool - do they? In the second story, fed up of being picked on by his family, Charlie runs away - to Henry's house. The only problem is, Charlie forgot how quiet runaways need to be.
