Obe Devlin may have just discovered a new animal! He knows a lot about the wildlife that lives around his home, but has never seen anything quite like this unusual, friendly, dog-sized creature that only eats plastic. Obe is excited about his new discovery, but also worried about keeping him safe from a group of bullies that live nearby. Will Obe be able to figure out what kind of animal Marvin Gardens is and where he came from?This fantastic book is a great choice for readers who enjoy stories about animals and the environment. In addition to the environmental theme, the story also deals with the friendship and bullying issues that Obe is encountering. An excellent selection from the 2018 - 2019 Maine Student Book Award list!
