"This illustrated early reader is fast paced with plenty of adventure for young readers just making the transition from picture books, or kids that really love books with dynamic illustrations. Marv himself is an inspiring black superhero, and the story's focus on the importance of friendship and creativity creates an inclusive and welcoming background for a super duper science adventure." * BookTrust *
"Fizzing with excitement, and with themes of kindness, friendship, creativity, courage and resilience these two snappily-written tales are a super-duper start to Alex Falase-Koya's action-packed series. Paula Bowles' two-colour illustrations are terrific fun and help ramp that action right up." * Jill Bennett, Red Reading Hub *
