(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Kelly Murphy. James's eleventh birthday party is so depressing, Marvin, a beetle, can't resist making him a present. The cityscape Marvin draws is mistaken for James's work, leading to an unlikely friendship, and the two are soon embroiled in the world of art forgery and theft. Their derring-do adventures and ethical conundrums grow organically from a remarkable friendship and make for an engrossing story.
