While Mrs North, Marvin's teacher, is on holiday, she has asked him to look after Waldo - 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, check out her bathroom and rummage in her fridge...well that's what Stuart and Nick, his best friends, would like to do. But Marvin takes things a little more seriously. After all, he gets paid $3 a day while Mrs North's away and he gets a bonus on top of that if everything goes smoothly. What could possibly go wrong'. Praise for the Marvin Redpost books from Australian kids- 'Louis Sachar is such a good writer, so original, and so very entertaining.' - Helen, aged 8, YARA Review 'An exciting adventure story that is interesting from the start to the finish' - Pero, Year 6, YARA Review 'Marvin Redpost is a really likeable character...I really loved this book and plan to get the whole series' - Kayla, Year 7, in the Cairns Post
