Additional information
by Brandon Hale (Author), Jason Zimdars (Illustrator)
A boy prince and his canine sidekick are caught and held for ransom by ruthless robbers! Do past good deeds pay dividends? Could help come from where it's least expected?
If your son is a reluctant reader, the Prince Martin Epic series is a perfect fit because each book features:
◆ High-stakes action-adventure and danger
◆ Exciting illustrations that burst off the page
◆ Text that appears to be prose-but subtly rhymes, gently nudging the boy along as he is encouraged to find the next rhyme
This is the perfect formula for engaging boy readers.
Parents and grandparents will love this series because each tale contains a moral-without a lecture-that encourages the virtues of bravery, loyalty, grit, and compassion, which are character traits boys need to become good men. And each book in the series gets a bit longer and more epic, thus growing with the boy.
Ages 7 and up.
Read as a stand-alone or as Book 2 in the series.

Author Biography
When Brandon Hale was a young boy, he lived in South America. It was a great place to be a kid, and his mom let him play outside as much as he wanted. He had a dog named Okie, a slingshot, and an awesome tree house his dad built. The tree was full of pink mangoes, jabbering parrots, and fat iguanas! When he was older, his family moved home to Oklahoma, and he began second grade. His favorite classes were Reading and History. He still got to spend a lot of time outdoors, and sometimes his uncles would take him hunting-with their falcons! His favorite tales were Treasure Island, The Swiss Family Robinson, Old Yeller, and The Hobbit. After finishing 19 years(!) of school, Brandon went to work doing adult stuff for the government. In 2001, a very beautiful lady agreed to marry Brandon. Now they have five great kids and live on the Oklahoma plains. Regarding Prince Martin, Brandon didn't even know he existed until he popped into his head one day! And when he had to go overseas for a long time in 2015, Brandon would tell his young son Prince Martin stories on the phone. In fact, the boy named some of the most important characters! Now Brandon wakes up real early every morning (when the house is unusually quiet) and writes about Prince Martin. Prince Martin and the Thieves is his second Prince Martin book-but he's got more up his sleeve!
