Marty Pants has a theory about his teacher Mr. McPhee. His theory: Mr. MrPhee is an alien. He goes through the story trying to prove this. He loves to draw and hang out with his friend since Kindergarten, Parker. Parker just happens to be a girl. He also has a sister named Erica who is like any typical teenage sister. She does not want anything to do with her younger brother. He also has a bully that he has named Peach Fuzz because he has a peach fuzz mustache. The worst thing in the world happens one day as he is walking home from school. His sister is holding hands with Peach Fuzz! Marty has so many things working against him. Simon is deemed the artist of the school. Marty is thwarted at every turn. He must prove that there are aliens trying to destroy the school or become the laughing stalk of the entire school. Fans of the Big Nate books and Diary of a Wimpy Kid will pick up this humorous story about Marty Pants. I would recommend this for any collection. There is a sneak peak at the second book in the series called Keep Your Paws Off! In the back of the book. ( )
