This quirky kids’ chapter book follows two clever brothers, Marcus and Mason, who aren’t your average sixth graders. Marcus can draw things that come to life, literally. Mason has the power to focus so hard that he can teleport himself and his brother right into Marcus’s illustrations. Together, they solve goofy, gross, and often ridiculous mysteries at their school, taking on characters like Farting Freddy, Stinky Cheese Chuck, and Bad Breath Billy. Each chapter reads like a mini adventure where the boys use their wild powers to outsmart bullies and save the day, usually with a good laugh.

This book had me grinning more than I expected. The writing is simple, which makes it easy to follow for kids, but what really got me was the nonstop silliness. The names, like Big Bad Booger Bobby, are the kind of thing that kids eat up. You can tell the author had fun writing it, and that energy bubbles up on every page. Sometimes the plot jumped too fast, and I found myself flipping back to make sure I didn’t miss something. Still, the playful tone kept it from feeling like a drag.

I also really liked the bond between the brothers. It’s not spelled out in long paragraphs, but you can feel their teamwork and trust through all the chaos. And let’s talk about the ideas—superpowered drawings? A brain that can teleport you? That’s gold for kids with big imaginations. Even when things got downright disgusting (there is a chapter about an evil fart artist), it was clear this book knows its audience and leans into what makes them giggle.

Marvelous Marcus & Master Mason is a silly and heartfelt ride through a world where gross is good and being clever wins the day. It’s perfect for kids around 7 to 11 who love comics, fart jokes, and offbeat superhero stories. If your kid is into wacky humor and wild adventures, they’ll be hooked from the first page.
