This review is from: Marv (Library Binding)
I read this book over 10 yeqrs ago in 5th grade. I had read all the other books about Marv's friends (Peter & Veronica series, which are related to Amy & Laura) and at first I did find this book hard to get in to. I think I was older before I was able to finish this book. Marv is an inventor and his mind is always working, thinking of new inventions. HIs older sister is pretty but she's a witch. She is always screaming at poor Marv and he is constantly trying to please her. He bends over backwards. It is a funny book. It mentions Adolf Hitler a lot, as the story was set for that era; the 30's and 40's. THis story actually took place right before the Peter and Veronica series, so I recommend if you are going to read the series, the stories might make more sense if you start with Marv. I think it was the first book of the series, although the books arn't numbered in any order. If you liked Encyclopedia Brown, you'll enjoy Marv!
