Synopsis
Stanley Krakow is amazing.
He's the world-record holder for Rock Kicking and Holding His Breath. He's a superhero in his spare time, rescuing his camp cabin mates from Volkswagen-size flying insects. Stanley's amazing all right...when no one can see or hear him....
The real Stanley is painfully shy; too shy to even speak out loud in class, much less kick a rock when he thinks someone might be watching. He worries about, well, everything, including how to save his prized glow-in-the-dark fish when his brother puts a river trout into the fish tank, whether stinky socks really do protect you from monster attacks (in which case he needs to start spending all sleeping hours in the laundry basket), and, most importantly, how he can get out of reading-aloud period in school. All in all, Stanley far prefers to live in his head.
That all changes when he meets Theresa, a new friend who has a terrible, real, problem, and needs Stanley to become the hero he's always pretending to be.
Meet the amazing Stanley Krakow...a most unlikely hero.
