Engrossing story

My son is not a strong reader, dislikes reading immensely, and can usually get through only three or four pages of a book before he starts complaining to stop. However, he wouldn't put this book down - he read all 67 pages over the course of an afternoon without stopping, and then immediately began a report on the book. (He had already read a book for a book report; the report was complete, but he liked this book so much that he started over.)

Furthermore, he asked for the rest of the series! Multiple firsts; thank you, Louis Sachar.

This Book Is Intersting To Read!

I really like this book called Marvin Redpost: Kidnapped at Birth. Marvin is a 9 year old boy who is always getting in trouble. In this story Marvin is kidnapped by strangers. Marvin tries to get to mom and dad, who are the King and Queen. Marvin said he had the wrong family. Louis Sachar is the author. I like this book because it is sometimes funny and sometimes it has really cool pictures. Sometimes Marvin books are hard and sometimes they are easy. It is the right book for me and it is good for the other 3rd grade also.

Louis Sachar's Marvin Redpost Scores Big With 9-11 Year-Olds

Marvin is a boy with red hair and blue eyes, in a family where everyone else has brown eyes and brown hair. Marvin is a nice boy, who is nine-years-old. Nick and Stuart are his best friends. We also get to meet Marvin's brother and sister, Jacob and Linsy.
Marvin has a problem, a big problem. After careful consideration, Marvin thinks he might be Prince Robert, son of the King of Shampoon. How might this happen? Marvin comes up with several different ideas. What should he do? Marvin begins by telling his friends and teacher, who are surprised by his announcement. Marvin then tells his parents who are supportive.
Marvin must go to take a blood test to see if he is O-, just like the King of Shampoon. Along the way, both Marvin and the reader learn about the love and support of family, and how friends can respond in different ways. You'll have to read the book to learn the details and find out what happens.

I recommend this book for an easy read. It is 67 pages long. I really like the book. I think it is funny and a good book. If you're looking for a long or sophisticated book this is not the book for you. I also recommend the other book in the series. The other books are just as good as this one. This book is a lot like other books of it's skill level. It is a one of a kind book.

Illus. in black-and-white. Marvin Redpost has finally figured out why he doesn't look like anyone in his family. He's not really Marvin Redpost--he's Robert, the lost prince of Shampoon!

"Fast paced, easy to read, and full of humor."--School Library Journal.
