In this Masterpiece Adventure, the first in a companion series for
younger readers from bestselling author Elise Broach, James is going on
vacation for a week. His best friend, Marvin the beetle, has to stay at
home. Without James to keep him company, Marvin has to play with his
annoying cousin, Elaine. Marvin and Elaine quickly find themselves
getting into all sorts of trouble--even getting trapped inside a pencil
sharpener! Marvin misses James and starts to worry about their
friendship. Will James still be Marvin's friend when he gets home or
will James have found a new best friend?
The Miniature World of Marvin and James by Elise Broach, with
illustrations by Kelly Murphy, is the first in a series of chapter books
set in the world of the acclaimed middle-grade novel Masterpiece.
