Description
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!
Trash, Bang, Wallop! It's Stan to the rescue . . .
About the Author
Elaine Wickson lives in Oxford with her husband and two sons and is often found either looking up at trees or stars. At school she filled her books with stories instead of maths, which is probably why she only just about passed some A Levels. In her teens she could have become a champion cha-cha-cha dancer, but preferred to watch TV instead. And in the world of work she stood at many photocopiers, dreaming up characters while the multipage double-sided document jammed in the paper feeder. Luckily she redeemed herself by learning to type at almost the speed of light and finally knuckled down to some writing. Chris Judge is an illustrator and picture book creator based in Dublin, Ireland. His first picture book The Lonely Beast won the Specsavers Irish Book of the Year Award in 2011. He is also the illustrator of the much-loved Danger is Everywhere books, written by David O'Doherty.
