Publisher's Synopsis
Transcending the usual scary monster-under-the-bed story, Martin Brown becomes a boy's companion and source of childlike wisdom from above. In rhyming verse, The Adventures of Martin Brown highlights Chris's traumatic circumstances-from an absent father to financial hardship to moving downtown into the "projects"-and shows that misfortune can develop character and result in empowerment to live a better life, filled with hope and good things. When a child needs a friend, a furry, cookie-munching, un-scary monster named Martin Brown provides a healing presence and a divine influence upon a young boy's tender heart. Children will be enthralled and entertained by Martin Brown's antics, and will listen as he imparts life-changing lessons on gratitude, loyalty, and friendship.
