Marvin lives with his family under the kitchen sink in the Pompadays’ apartment.
He is very much a beetle. James Pompaday lives with his family in New York City.
He is very much an eleven-year-old boy. After James gets a pen-and-ink set for
his birthday, Marvin surprises him by creating an elaborate miniature drawing.
James gets all the credit for the picture and before these unlikely friends know
it they are caught up in a staged art heist at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
that could help recover a famous drawing by Albrecht Dürer. But James can’t go
through with the plan without Marvin’s help. And that’s where things get really
complicated (and interesting!). This fast-paced mystery will have young readers
on the edge of their seats as they root for boy and beetle.
