Masterpiece is a sweet book that explores the unlikely friendship between 11-year-old James Pompaday and a talented beetle named Marvin that lives beneath the kitchen sink. When Marvin creates a detailed miniature drawing using the ink from a pen-and-ink set James received for his birthday, it’s assumed James did the work and he’s asked to do more. The friends wind up at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, stuck in a predicament that could lead to them solving a high-profile case of stolen art. My third grader loved the story, as well as the delightful illustrations!
Mom, which book is next?
