Marty the Bat - Hardcover

Marty finds himself captive in a hot pit because of his own actions. He cries out for a way of escape from the cave--"where the only way out was the way he came in, and a huge dragon guarded that door to the den." Marty escapes with only a singed tail and vows to begin afresh.

As Marty returns home and begins to show himself full of kindness and good deeds, there is something about the new Marty that no one can stand. Marty's heart was so full of thankfulness for the second chance he had been given that he just had to sing, "and the song of a bat is a very odd thing."

So begins Marty's search for a home where he and his joyful singing will be accepted and where he can do some great good for others.
