Overview

What if you were tired of moving from town to town because of
your father? What if you hated your mother because she would do
nothing about it? What if you had no friends and you were constantly
harassed by a bully? How would you survive another move with all its
new challenges?
Find out how one middle school boy deals with these challenges
in MARTY MATTERS. When Marty moves to a new town, he turns his
anger from his mother and father to the school bully. Marty finds it
difficult to make friends because he is “different.” After several weeks
of what seems like torture in his new school, Marty makes a new
friend. His friend, however, is not of the human kind. Boots is a dog
that becomes Marty’s friend and makes his life tolerable, until Boots’
life is placed in jeopardy because of his own actions. Marty must make
a decision as to how Boots’ future will play out. Will Marty be able to
make the difficult decision? What will happen to them both? Find the
answers to these questions and more when you read MARTY MATTERS.
