Super Stan cover

Trash, Bang, Wallop! It's Stan to the rescue . . .

Stan's little brother Fred is on a mission to save the prawns, the whales, the ocean . . . the world! And he's roped in Stan to lend a hand. What can possibly go wrong!? Packed full of infographics, charts, and diagrams, this hilarious and visually-exciting book will have huge appeal for young readers.All I want to do is see the total eclipse, but all MY plans are being eclipsed by my little brother Fred. He's on a mission to stop the ocean turning into plastic and to save the prawns from drinking glitter-and he's roped in everyone he knows . . . including me! Read this book to find out how to be an actual superhero (even if you can't fly and don't wear your pants outside your trousers!). I'm going to need all the charts I can draw to sort this mess out, using recycled paper and a cardboard pen, obviously! See how Stan copes with Fred's plans to save the world as he charts all the ups and downs in a series of hilarious infographics in this highly visual book which is full of laugh-out-loud moments readers will love!
