Marvin lives in a grey house with a white fence - a white fence but for one red post. He has red hair and blue eyes. He is left-handed. 'We're lucky to be left-handed', said Mrs North, 'It means we have royal blood'. One day, at school, Marvin realises his parents have brown hair and they have brown eyes. Can he really be Marvin Redpost?
\"Rudi Rotschopf ist der größte Nasenbohrer in der ganzen Schule!\" \"Wer so was sagt, gehört verkloppt!\", meint Rudis älterer Bruder. Doch Rudi weiß was viel, viel Besseres ....
Marvin Redpost has an identity crisis after a rather thought-provoking conversation at school with his friend Casey Happleton.
While Mrs North, Marvin's teacher is on holiday, she asks him to look after her dog. Suddenly, Marvin has become the luckiest boy in school. He'll get to sniff about Mrs North's house, look in her wardrobe and rummage in her fridge. He gets paid $3 a day and he will get a bonus on top if everything goes smoothly. What could possibly go wrong?
Even though they have all come to school in holey clothes, Marvin and his third grade class manage to impress their surprise visitor--the President of the United States.
Marvin cannot get to sleep. It's late, the ground is hard in Nick Tuffle's garden, he is far too full on cake and he has drunk too much punch. Then he hears a low humming noise. He feels the earth shudder beneath him and there is a bright flash - sort of the same colour as the green icing on Nick's birthday cake.
