I felt this heartfelt story of embracing one’s true self and the growing pains of maturity was a bit rushed towards the end without fully developing several characters, but I’m hoping the book’s last sentence is a segue for a sequel. Marvin is ungainly, but he is a character the reader can relate to and empathize with on many levels. Marvin’s Curse is an interesting paranormal-twisted tale of a teenage boy dealing with the angst of death (both for the living and dead), the awkwardness of being different, the annoyance at his new step-dad, and the move out of the city. His family, now complete with a step-dad, tries to make a fresh start by moving into the country however, the graveyard outside their backyard does not bode well for Marvin who’s trying to ignore his ability to see and speak with the dead…until he meets teen love, Stella. This intrusion of his privacy by spirits is seen as a curse and a painful reminder of the loss of his father.
