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 Durer. 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. In "Shakespeare's Secret "Elise Broach showed her keen
ability to weave storytelling with history and suspense, and
"Masterpiece "is yet another example of her talent. This time
around it's an irresistible miniature world, fascinating art
history, all wrapped up in a special friendship-- something for
everyone to enjoy.
