Martin’s Mystery

Peter Martin is launching his third children’s book The Mystery of Trash Island, with a distinct environmental message.

Peter – husband of Santa Barbara Symphony president Kathryn Martin – took a year to write the colorful issue with illustrations by local artist Danuta Bennett. He says it is also an introduction to geography teaching as the main characters explore the highest mountains on each continent.

It is the latest in his Anna & Avis Fantastical Adventures series with the siblings and their endless imagination and dreams, using an imaginary solution to solve the real-life issues of plastics polluting the oceans.

All proceeds got to the Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation, with more than $25,000 being raised so far…
