Marvin is a beetle living under the kitchen sink in the home of James Pompaday, a lonely eleven-year-old boy. When James gets a pen-and-ink set for his birthday, Marvin secretly surpises him by creating a tiny, detailed drawing, which resembles the work of the great Renaissance artist Albrecht Durer. James gets the credit and soon the newfound friends are swept up in an art heist at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, risking their lives in a fast-paces mystery about stolen art, forgery, and friendship.
