“Funny and engaging. Marty Pants is a surefire hit!”—Lincoln Peirce, author of the Big Nate series

"Readers will love the riotous hero of this new series."—School Library Journal

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 things–except when he doesn’t.

When Marty discovers a note suggesting an alien is watching him, this is something he can’t ignore. But no one, not his friends, his family, his arch-enemy, nor the chief of police, can see what he sees. So, it’s up to Marty to save the world—his way!

This hilarious new series follows the endearing, frazzled, embarrassed, and ultimately fearless footsteps of literature’s most unlikely hero: Marty Pants.

What happens when the only person who can see the danger is the one person nobody takes seriously?

An Unlikely Hero: Marty Pants is an artist with an exceptional eye for detail. The only problem? No one else—from his friends to the chief of police—can see the alien danger he sees. A Hilarious Mystery: It all starts with a secret note. Is his teacher, Mr. McPhee, really an alien planning to annihilate the world, or is it all in Marty’s hyperactive imagination? Comics and Doodles on Every Page: Jump into Marty’s world with laugh-out-loud illustrations that bring his catastrophic misunderstandings and alien-fighting plans to life. Perfect for Wimpy Kid Fans: If you love funny, diary-style books packed with humor and crazy adventures, you’ll love the imaginative, inquisitive, and unstoppable Marty Pants.
