Flat Stanley
by Jeff Brown
A noticeboard falls on Stanley in the night and leaves him half an inch thick. Being flat turns out to have advantages, including catching art thieves.
A story about children and families, funny and adventurous in tone. We would put it with children of 6–8, and at a reading age of about 7 for reading alone.
Nothing flagged
We have not flagged any content in this one that a parent would usually want warning about.
Part of a series
This is book 1 of the Flat Stanley series, so there is more to read if it goes down well — which is worth a great deal with a reluctant reader.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
