"Marty 2 is an engaging story of action and adventure. I read through the pages faster than I thought I would. I was eager to move on from every page. There were many twists that made the story even more interesting and it kept my interest right to the very end. Aside from its distinctive setting and plot, the unique characters, such as the talking animals, made the story more magical and interesting. There was also a surprising twist near the end that left me sad and heartbroken. It was unexpected and made the story end in such a bittersweet but memorable manner. Aside from the intriguing magical creatures and enchanting things that help develop the imagination, it also contained important scientific lessons. The most important lesson I learned, however, is a moral one from this story and it is about true friendship. The story was definitely worth the read. Great work! — Trisha ~ Reader’s Favorite - 5 star

E.W. Choate Jr.’s - Marty 2, is the second book in the Marty series. The author cleverly rehashes the most relevant details of the first book, which is helpful for a reader who may not have had the opportunity to read the first book. There is a lot of thrilling excitement as animals and humans battle together to fight the evil forces that keep resurfacing and causing havoc. The author has developed a lively plot with believable characters (even if most of the characters are talking animals) and an excellent descriptive narrative to establish the setting. There’s nothing as good as a riveting adventure to keep the reader spellbound to the very end. — Emily ~ Reader’s Favorite - 5 star

Rarely is there ever a time where the sequel is better than the original. However, I do believe that this is one of those occasions. I laughed, I was shocked, and I fell in love with all the new characters I met along the way. The world was expanded, and the author was able to add some valuable lessons (moral and scientific). —Christine ~ Professional Beta Reader 

The story begins with an interesting hook, creating the desire to read more. The characters are compelling, sympathetic, and someone you can root for. There is enough at stake and/or tension throughout the story to make it a page-turner. The writing quality allows the story to shine through and draw the reader in. I would use this story in the library or in the classroom to enhance my lessons. Since it is easy to read, it is excellent for reluctant readers. The story can be read and read out loud by teachers and librarians in small group and class discussions. The story has an even flow that can be read at bedtime by parents to get early readers to like to read stories before bed. —Penney ~ Teacher/Academic Tutor

I loved the first Marty, but I think I liked this one even better. The story was amazing, creative, with plenty of witty banter and humor to keep the reader’s interest. A light, enjoyable read. Awesome work! —Stacey ~ Professional Book Editor"
