Reviewed by Horn Book Guide Reviews (Horn Book Guide Reviews 1994) When his third-grade teacher pays Marvin to take care of her old dog, Waldo, while she's away, his friends think Marvin is ""the luckiest kid in the whole world"" -- until Waldo dies. Sachar's finely tuned sense of how children think and feel make this fourth book about Marvin and his comic misadventures entertaining. Black-and-white drawings illustrate the story.
