The New Adventures of Martin Brown

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.
