Summary Of Martyn Pig

I chose the book “Martyn Pig”. I chose this book because the plot line is strong along with the character development. The story is about a boy who gets made fun of because of his name. His father is a drunk and would occasionally yell at him but most of the time he would just be passed out. Until one night when his father was yelling at him for something he didn’t do, Martny made the wrong move of talking back. His father made an attempt to hit him but not until Martyn pushed him back. His dad went falling down and on the way hit is head on the fireplace ledge. He’s dead. Martin started to freak out. He didn't know whether he should call the police because he was scared he will be blamed for. He eventually placed the body on his dad’s bed.
