Move over, Wimpy Kid. Here comes the imaginative, the inquisitive, the unstoppable Marty Pants!
Marty Pants is different from your typical middle schooler. He has the soul of an artist, and as an artist, he notices thingsâexcept when he doesnât.
When Marty discovers a note suggesting an alien is watching him, this is something he canât ignore. But no one, not his friends, his family, his arch-enemy, nor the chief of police, can see what he sees. So, itâs up to Marty to save the worldâhis way!
This hilarious new series follows the endearing, frazzled, embarrassed, and ultimately fearless footsteps of literatureâs most unlikely hero: Marty Pants.
