Marvin Smith is a smart-mouthed ‘‘tween’ in serious need of a ‘tude adjustment. He doesn’t believe in fairy tales (or much of anything else), until he comes face-to-face with the grandfather he never knew he had… Merlin… The Merlin, of King Arthur and Camelot fame! Marvin’s got a little something in common with the old guy. Magic has skipped a generation and Marvin’s just a chip off the ol’ crystal ball. Anything can happen (and usually does), when Marvin becomes a very reluctant sorcerer’s apprentice. Going through puberty with the power to turn the entire population of Detroit into hamsters is a hilariously explosive proposition. Marvin finds out, along the way, that learning to be a good Wizard and learning to be a good kid often go hand in hand. |
