Keep Your Paws Off! (Marty Pants #2)
by Mark Parisi (Author) Mark Parisi (Illustrator)
Marty Pants is back! And in an unexpectedly hairy situation, Marty must put his deduction skills to the test as this new mystery might be leading to monstrous consequences. When Marty finds a ripped page from his sister's diary, the most crucial piece--revealing Marty's true identity--is still locked inside his sister's room. Undaunted, Marty pieces the clues together and comes to the most logical conclusion: he's on a one-way trip to werewolfville! Superhuman speed. Howling. Hairiness. The evidence is mounting against him, and with his werewolf powers growing stronger, Marty is determined to protect his classmates from himself before it's too late--no matter what the cost!
The second book in the Marty Pants series from the award-winning cartoonist behind the "Off the Mark" strip, Mark Parisi, is perfect for fans of Wimpy Kid, Big Nate, and laughing a lot.

Gr 3-5—Marty, the not-too-bright protagonist from the first series installment, is back solving another mystery—this time about himself. He finds a scrap of his older sister's diary with an intriguing statement: "Marty is a we...." Unfortunately, the sentence is cut off. What does his sister Erica know about him? Is he a weatherman? A weightlifter? Or, thinks Marty, could he possibly be a werewolf? Marty convinces himself that he must be a werewolf and that his transformation will happen when the moon is full. Parisi's simple stick cartoons appear on every page of this short, quick read. Readers know that Marty will come through it all, if a bit battered. Indeed, Erica got it right; Marty is a weirdo, but in a good way. VERDICT A solid choice for young reluctant readers who like hybrid novels.—Lillian Hecker, Town of Pelham Public Library, NY
