And when he finds her, she's so thrilled that she pays him for his service. Realizing the young boy has obviously gotten separated from his mother, he seeks her out. No one is hiring, at least no one is hiring someone with absolutely no experience doing anything of value, and he finds himself sitting in a park when a toddler approaches him. But there is little they can do at this point, and with limited financial resources, Max must find a job to help support himself. Max returns home, and his grandmother is as concerned as he is. But he's alarmed when he learns that there is no ship sailing to India that day, indeed there is no ship named the Flower of Kashmir, in Mister Max: The Book of Lost Things, the first entry in this trilogy of stories by Cynthia Voigt. Review: When 12-year-old Max Starling agrees to meet his parents at the shipdocks, where they have booked passage on the Flower of Kashmir bound for India, he's dismayed when he arrives and receives a letter from them, given to him by the harbormaster, that he cannot go and instructing him that to stay with his grandmother.
