The Blurb On The Back:
”The super-suit is powered by two things: kindness and imagination. Luckily you, Marvin, have tons of both!”
Marvin loves reading about superheroes and now he’s about to become one for real.
Grandad is passing his superhero suit and robot sidekick, Pixel, on to Marvin. It’s been a long time since the world needed a superhero but now, with a mega robot and a supervillain on the loose, that time has come.
To defeat his enemies and protect his friends, Marvin must learn to trust the superhero within. Only then will Marvin become MARV - unstoppable, invincible and totally marvellous!
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Alex Falase-Koya’s first book in a new superhero series for readers aged 5+ is a charming affair about the power of kindness and imagination with great black representation that’s well supported by Paula Bowles’s excellent illustrations. There’s a lot of set up here (which is understandable), I’m not sure how kindness powers the suit and the villain is underwhelming but there’s a lot of scope for future books and I look forward to reading on.
MARV AND THE MEGA ROBOT was released in the United Kingdom on 3rd February 2022. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
