Marty Pants #1: Do Not Open!

Marty Pants is different from your typical middle schooler. He has the soul of an artist, and as an artist, he notices things - the kinds of things other kids don’t seem to see.

It’s this eye for the unusual that leads him to a note he simply cannot ignore. An alien is watching him and preparing to take over the world. But no one, not his best friends Parker and Roongrat or his mother, father, sister, arch-enemy, Simon, or the chief of Police, believes him. It’s up to Marty to save the world, his way.

Debut author Mark Parisi brings his award-winning cartoon chops to this laugh-out-loud middle grade novel about the unlikeliest of heroes to ever have the fate of the world in his hands, complete with comic-style black and white interior illustrations.
