Every time we finish a Prince Martin story, we are already itching for another!" - KATIE WARNER, author of A Parent Who Prays
"A tale of courage and kindness with a little silliness thrown in. An exciting bedtime story, cleverly written." - WAYNE GRANT, best-selling author of the Roland Inness Saga
"A thrilling adventure story that teaches young readers the importance of such virtues as courage, loyalty, and discernment while also instilling in them a love for the sound and rhythm of words." - LOUIS MARKOS, author of On the Shoulders of Hobbits
"The ability to tell a good story well is one of the oldest and finest of the arts. It is also one of the most important of all the imaginative gifts. Brandon Hale possesses this most wondrous of gifts to a wonderful degree, weaving a tale of princes, heroes and dragons. Every child who enters the pages of this book will find themselves in an enchanting adventure full of the virtue that vanquishes viciousness." - JOSEPH PEARCE, biographer, and author of Tolkien: Man and Myth, a Literary Life and Further Up & Further In: Understanding Narnia

"Prince Martin and the Cave Bear's humor, rhyming prose, enterprising characters and moral themes make for an excellent read. It will be for any young listener, or reader, an entertaining and thrilling story, with suspense, action, and plenty of adventure." - DONAL ANTHONY FOLEY, author of the Glaston Chronicles series
About the Author: 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!
