This chapter book in Newbery Honor-winning and bestselling author Louis Sachar’s Marvin Redpost series is all about daredevils and conquering your fears!

Hilarious and relatable, Marvin Redpost is perfect for kids who love to bond with quirky characters like Junie B. Jones and George Brown, Class Clown.
