Action Stan cover

Sibling survival - in the WILD!

Stan and his little brother Fred are off on a school trip to an outdoor adventure camp. Stan has been asked to keep an eye on Fred and his friends while they're away . . . what could possibly go wrong!? Packed full of infographics, charts, and diagrams, this hilarious and visually-exciting book will have huge appeal for young readers.How on Earth did I end up 'volunteering' to help out on a school trip full of small-year-olds? At least I've got my book of special plans, charts, and diagrams to keep everything in order. I mean, how hard can it be looking after my little brother Fred and his mates? Read this book to find out how to be cool, how to make friends, the best things about snails (yes, really), and how NOT to pack ice cream in your suitcase. You might just laugh your head off . . . probably at me! Stanley and his little brother Fred are off to an outdoor adventure camp to learn all about life in the wild . . . but it's not the wildlife that Stan needs to survive, it's Fred, plus the annoying cool kids from the other school, and Mr Fisher (who is determined to make the trip anything but fun)! As Stanley struggles to cope he charts all the ups and downs in a series of hilarious infographics. Full of infographics, charts, and tables - this book is highly visual and full of laugh-out-loud moments that readers will love!

Fun science facts, quirky illustrations, and affable characters make this a book that children will race through. * BookTrust *
