Marvin has a special secret: he just needs to don his super-suit to become superhero Marv.
When a day out ice-skating with his friend Joe is interrupted by the arrival of a super-villain, Marv and his sidekick Pixel step in to sort things out. With everyone frozen, and a band of baddie penguins approaching, they’ll need all their superhero powers.
Fortunately, during his adventures on the ice, Marv has learned that friendship is one of the strongest superpowers there is, and he can use that to defeat Master Blaster.
Full of super-lively illustrations and divided into short, action-packed chapters, this is a perfect first reader and the lesson Marv learns, that showing off is super-villain behaviour, is a useful one for us all.
When ordinary boy Marvin wears his super-suit he becomes MARV. A superhero with infinite powers . . .
In this story, Marvin and his friends are ice skating at the Blizzard Zone when supervillain Master Blaster takes control of the rink, determined that everyone stops their fun to watch him skate.
Soon, skaters are being frozen solid by the supervillain's powerful ice blasts. It's time for Marvin to swap his skates for his superhero suit and become MARV-unstoppable, invincible, and totally MARVellous! Only then can Marv put an end to Master Blaster's showing off.
