The Adventures of Martin Brown

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.
