1-3Masterpiece Adventures series.
Illustrated by
Kelly Murphy.
Beetle Marvin is going collecting in the Pompadays' apartment, where the beetles live behind a kitchen cupboard. When Uncle Albert is accidentally cut by a pair of nail scissors, Marvin enlists the aid of his best friend, human James. Broach, aided by Murphy's frequent black-and-white illustrations, has created another story that beginning chapter-book readers can read and also want to read.
