Mark Nelson O’Brien’s Martin the Marlin book series uses poetry as a very clever device to share a universal ideal regarding the joy of true friendship. Each of his books offers a fun, fast read and a story that children – and adults – will love. And each encourages all readers to follow their dreams. If you pay particular attention to the back cover notes, you’ll see his messages about the beauty of friendship and the worthiness of following your dreams. These are books written from the heart and for the heart. Absolutely beautiful in every way.
