This meant getting to go into his teacher, Mrs. North's, house. Marvin even got paid and also got a bonus dollar each day if he did everything right. All was going well until something went wrong with Mrs. North's dog. Marvin learns to overcome his fears and learn what true responsibility means. Would that more teachers were unafraid to relate to their students as human beings. I'm sure it still happens in some small towns, but I see another reviewer seems to think that highering" Marvin to dog-sit is 'inappropriate.' (Of course, I think that publishing before proofreading is inappropriate, but what do I know; it's been years since I taught.) One of the more serious and sweet Redpost books. I like how Marvin neither condones Nick's misbehavior, nor shuns his friendship - it feels authentic, because, after all, nobody is perfect and so we'd be totally friendless if we refused to be friends with someone who isn't." no reviews | add a review
