Joseph Kelly.
In the two stories in this book, Martin does the things boys do in the summer: camps with the scouts (a jar of green slime figures prominently) and watches his favorite superhero cartoon. Martin is a real boy with parents who allow him to find his own way, a rarity in today's early chapter books. Expressive graphite and charcoal sketches add an extra dimension.
