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.

In The New Adventures of Martin Brown, the lovable, furry un-scary monster returns as his boyhood friend Chris enters Junior High School. A single-parent home, disturbing sounds from other units in the “projects,” as well as the military death of Chris’s father and the resulting loneliness of life without him are all eased by the rhyming verse of Martin Brown’s childlike wonder and wisdom. Martin Brown and Chris make a new friend next door named Jasmine, and the threesome gain strength together to weather the storms of their young lives. Jazz reveals her secret place to Chris, and they forge a strong friendship that lasts through the tough middle school years. Martin Brown’s enduring presence in Chris’s life illustrates God’s personal and loving presence throughout the years of childhood.

The Adventures of Tintin (Les Aventures de Tintin) is a series of comic strips created by Belgian artist Herge the pen name of Georges Remi (1907 1983). The series first appeared in French in Le Petit Vingtieme, a children's supplement to the Belgian newspaper Le Vingtieme Siecle on 10 January 1929. Set in a painstakingly researched world closely mirroring our own, Herge's Tintin series continues to be a favorite of readers and critics alike 80 years later.The hero of the series is Tintin, a young Belgian reporter. He is aided in his adventures from the beginning by his faithful fox terrier dog Snowy (Milou in French). Later, popular additions to the cast included the brash, cynical and grumpy Captain Haddock, the bright but hearing-impaired Professor Calculus (Professeur Tournesol) and other colorful supporting characters such as the incompetent detectives Thomson and Thompson (Dupond et Dupont). Herge himself features in several of the comics as a background character; as do his assistants in some instances.The success of the series saw the serialized strips collected into a series of albums (24 in all), spun into a successful magazine and adapted for film and theatre. The series is one of the most popular European comics of the 20th century, with translations published in over 50 languages and more than 200 million copies of the books sold to date. The comic strip series has long been admired for its clean, expressive drawings in Herge's signature ligne claire style. Engaging, well-researched plots straddle a variety of genres: swashbuckling adventures with elements of fantasy, mysteries, political thrillers, and science fiction. The stories within the Tintin series always feature slapstick humor, accompanied in later albums by sophisticated satire, and political and cultural commentary.
