Marvel the
Marvelous
Fantasy Adventure for
Ages 9-12
This wild fantasy
deals with serious issues, like the emotional pull between family and friends.
The characters grapple with loyalty and betrayal, with deep feelings of
connection and the fear of losing love, but through the humorous, often
playful antics of the characters, Leezie and Marvel overcome all obstacles,
and their unique friendship wins out.
Marvel the Marvelous is the second
young adult novel written by Laura Chester.
In the far reaches of Northern Joya,
most of the inhabitants wear skates, for without these sharp, silver
blades it would be too slippery to traverse the shimmering ice fields.
When the King and Queen find a frozen girl child in a snowbank, everyone
stops and tries to thaw her out. A gigantic bonfire is lit, which
brightens the night sky, but soon the ice fields of Joya are melting. A
trickling stream becomes a rushing river, then suddenly, a deluge. Leaving
the comforts of their dry, warm stable, Lee Rumsey and Little Marvel are
swept away on a torrential adventure.
Their dog friends, Garbonzo & Beanie, follow. Together this foursome
explores the dank underworld of Joya as well as its most fragrant gardens.
Throughout her journey to the Treasure House, Lee is compelled to follow
the cries of her baby sister, but first she must help release Spigot Von
Glume, and tame a tribe of terrible teasers. Finally, Marvel and Lee
outwit an even more dangerous foe.
This wild fantasy also deals with serious issues, like the emotional pull
between family and friends. The characters grapple with loyalty and
betrayal, with deep feelings of connection and the fear of losing love,
but through the humorous, often playful antics of the characters, Leezie
and Marvel overcome all obstacles, and their unique friendship wins out. |
