Book Description:
Marvin lives with his family under the kitchen sink in the Pompaday's apartment. He is
very much a beetle. James 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. Then James ends up with all the credit, and is expected to do it again.
Before they know it, the unlikely friends are caught up in an art heist that could lead them to a long-lost
drawing by Albrecht Dürer. Of course, James can't go through with the plan without Marvin's help. But
can a boy take a beetle to a museum and let him recreate a master work of art without anyone knowing about
it? Even more important, can he bring the beetle safely back home?
