"Marv takes on the young operator of the dastardly Duck of Doom."
Marvin and his grandad are enjoying a day out at Adventure Zone and meeting up with Grandad’s old friend Steve. Marvin is fascinated to learn that Steve used to be none other than supervillain Professor Feather, controller of a massive robotic duck that could fire sonic blasts from its beak and came very close to beating his grandad. Fortunately, Steve saw the error of his ways and gave up supervillainy.
It seems like his granddaughter Izzy is a chip off the bad old block though. First, she wants to cheat when they do youngsters versus oldie bowling then, much worse, Marvin sees her out riding the Duck of Doom. Time for him to transform into his superhero alter ego Marv and put a stop to this dastardly duck.
It’s not easy, but when Marv rescues Izzy from an unexpected dip in the pond, she realises superheroes trump supervillains. As ever, the story with its short chapters and lively two-colour illustrations, makes for great reading and there’s a useful lesson about how change can be a jolly good thing. Marv wins again!
