Marvin, a secret superhero with a robot sidekick named Pixel, is super excited because he's going on a school trip to the Natural History Museum to see some REAL dinosaur bones. Marvin and Joe can't wait to see all those dinosaur skeletons up close, but they get more than they bargained for when supervillain Leo turns up and brings the Dino skeletons to life! With the help of his loyal sidekick, a robot called Pixel, it's time for Marvin to become superhero Marv.


In Marv and the Dino Attack, Marv the superhero leaps into action to confront Rex, the evil supervillain that seems to be behind the dinosaur attack. Can Marv save the day with the help of his magical superhero suit - and make a new friend in the process? Marv must use all of his newfound superhero skills if he wants to stop Leo and save his classmates from the gang of marauding dino skeletons running riot!


This illustrated early reader is fast-paced with plenty of adventure for young readers just making the transition from picture books, or those who really love books with dynamic illustrations. Marv himself is an inspiring black superhero, and the story's focus on the importance of friendship and creativity creates an inclusive and welcoming background for a fun dino adventure.
