Sometimes a mouse just has to bust out and do something big. That's why Marvin (also known as "Merciless Marvin the Magnificent") decides it's time to lead his gang (Raymond the Rat and Fats the Fuse) out of their cozy lair at the back of the movie theater and on to greater glory. Enough of stale popcorn and left over candy! It's time to go in search of . . . cheese! But the outside world can be a dangerous place. Is it possible Marvin has bitten off more cheese than he can chew? Kids and parents alike will relish the laugh out loud humor of this hilarious crime caper, as narrated by the most delightful tough guy mouse in children's literature. Jean van Leeuwen is the versatile and acclaimed author of more than 40 books for young readers, including picture books, easy readers, historical fiction, young adult novels-and, of course, the uproarious adventures of Merciless Marvin the Magnificent.
