Joseph Kelly.
In the first story, Martin struggles with his feelings about a braggy classmate. In the second, he falls from his tree house while trying to emulate his hero, Zip Rideout. The people in Martin's world are kind, helpful, and caring, and the characters' emotions are real and believable. Frequent graphite and charcoal illustrations add to the book's richness.
