A school trip to the Space Centre turns into an adventure that requires young Marvin to don his super-suit and transform into superhero Marv.
A supervillain called Cosmic, backed up by a crew of very disruptive little aliens, is causing chaos and is set to steal the centre’s rocket and blast off into space. Worse, he’s planning on taking Marv’s sidekick Pixel with him!
Can Marv outwit him, save the day and his classmates’ special sleepover? He can, with the help of gravity sticking slime! With their short chapters, lively two-colour illustrations and fast-moving plots, these stories are perfect for readers finding their feet in fiction and super-satisfying.
