Marvin and the "Whatever They Are"

This delightful book explores the life of Marvin, who encounters little people (the "whatever they are" of the title) who are stewards of the land. Marvin learns that he has a role to play in keeping our wild places wild, and learns a little about growing up, and how to deal with the divorce of his parents along the way. This book is perfect for young adults aged 8 to 14, or for the young at heart.
