It's the clawsomest time of year: summer vacation All Marvin and his friends want is to enjoy their turf--the park across the street--and play superheroes to their hearts' content. But when bullies arise, so does conflict. Suddenly a power struggle erupts over playground dibs. It's Marvin and his band of Super Scarers versus Drake the Dreadful and his too-cool-for-school henchmen
But the monsters discover that bullying isn't always black and white, good guys and bad guys. By using tools such as ST4 and a circular role-playing game, Marvin and his friends discover that defeating bullying doesn't always mean defeating bullies. In fact, with a little help from your friends, anyone can rise to the occasion. Marvin's hilarious doodles and diary entries chronicle his delightful adventures, misadventures, and eventual triumph in a funny, relatable way. It's the one series on ADHD and associated issues that kids will actually want to readAuthor Biography
