![]() Edwards’s articulation in Marvin’s Curse is fashionably suitable for the YA audience and full of imagination. I felt this heartfelt story of embracing one’s true self and the growing pains of maturity was a bit rushed towards the end without fully developing several characters, but I’m hoping the book’s last sentence is a segue for a sequel. Marvin is ungainly, but he is a character the reader can relate to and empathize with on many levels. Marvin’s Curse is an interesting paranormal-twisted tale of a teenage boy dealing with the angst of death (both for the living and dead), the awkwardness of being different, the annoyance at his new step-dad, and the move out of the city. This is a gift that has been handed down from generations. ![]() His father tries to assure him its a gift, but Marvin feels otherwise.
