Gr 7-10-Thrasher is known for writing about teens dealing with less than perfect circumstances. In Marvelous, Brandon is coping with an abusive alcoholic father and too-busy-to-notice mother. When Marvel enters his life, her upbeat quirkiness and the air of mystery captivate him. Unfortunately, her character is never very well developed beyond her 1970s-style clothing and unwavering devotion to God. The record-store setting and music references (there are playlists in the back of the book, which include everything from Justin Timberlake to The Smiths) add a little hipness to an otherwise standard summer vacation murder mystery. While the book may not appeal to typical YA readers, this is a solid purchase, especially where Christian fiction is popular.-Sarah Jones, Clinton-Macomb Public Library, MI
