FOR USE IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ONLY. These early chapter books feature third-grader Marvin Redpost and his humorous misadventures with friends and classmates.
This First Stepping Stone book (see preceding review) heralds the series debut of nine-year-old Marvin Redpost. He is convinced he is Prince Robert, the King of Shampoon's long-lost son currently being sought in a much-publicized campaign. First, Marvin is the only person in his family with red hair and blue eyes. Next, Marvin's teacher says that because he is left-handed he must have royal blood. And finally, Marvin does not remind his grandmother of anyone else in the family. All of this assures Marvin that he must have been kidnapped at birth and accidentally given to Mr. and Mrs. Redpost. Though the story line is frivolous, lively dialogue and Marvin's endless imagination command steady attention. Characterization, however scanty, is at least true to life, and the unresolved ending leaves readers something to think about. The rigid black-and-white illustrations, on the other hand, add little. Ages 6-9. (Aug.)

reviewed Kidnapped at Birth? (Marvin Redpost Series #1) on March 06, 2011 Kidnapped at Birth? (Marvin Redpost Series #1)
Marvin Redpost Kidnapped at birth was an amazing thrill ride. The book was amazing, because it had everything a reader wants in a book. It had comedy suspense and over all it was just an awesome book. If I had to rate it I would give it a solid 9 because it was an amazing book , but some parts in the book weren't real interesting.
My favorite part was when Marvin called the King of Shampoon and the call attendant picked up the phone and she said her name was "Jennifer Duchess of Bathwater". I thought that this was the most hilarious part of the book. It was so funny because Marvin actually believed her.
The main character of the book is Marvin Redpost. He is a kid that doesn't think that he fits in his family because everyone in his family has brown hair with brown eyes and he has red hair with blue eyes. That is the reason why when the king started to look for his lost son Marvin thinks he is the prince.
I wish that the book went on longer because I wanted to see if the king ever found his son. It made you want to write to the author and tell him to make the book longer. That was the only problem about the book.
The book reminded me of a TV show I once watched. It was about famous celebrities trying to find more about their past. Both the show and the book are about trying to find out their past.
I hope you can read this book and have as much fun reading it as I did. I also hope that it makes you laugh until your stomach hurts. Have fun reading!
