      Plot: Stanley’s brother, Arthur, wins a once in a lifetime trip to Australia. The two boys jet off to the Land Down Under and soon Stanley’s flatness causes trouble again. He is whisked away by the wind and finds himself all alone in the middle of the outback.My reaction: The book is fast paced and chalk full of fun cultural tidbits about Australia. I am very partial to Stanley’s adventures for early intermediate readers and this new one did not fail to entertain.Recommended Age Level: 7-9Series Information: #8 in the Flat Stanley’s Worldwide Adventures series. Also, in order to understand this series, you would have to read Jeff Brown’s original Flat Stanley books.
    • 2/5
      If Flat Stanley hasn't come to your notice before now, count yourself lucky. This book offers nothing to encourage me to encounter him again.

    Chapter 1

    The Grand Prize

    Snow whipped through the air in thick blankets. Stanley Lambchop trudged on, trying not to flap in the wind.

    Up ahead, Stanley could just make out his younger brother, Arthur. Keep going! Arthur’s voice called. We’re almost there!

    Since the morning Stanley Lambchop had awakened to discover that he had been flattened by the bulletin board over his bed, he had traveled far and wide. He had trekked through the Mexican jungle. He had crossed the African savannah. He had braved the Canadian Arctic.

    But this just might be his most difficult journey of all.

    And it’s only the walk home from school! thought Stanley.

    He strained to take another step, but the wind blew him off his feet yet again. He flew backward into the side of a bus shelter with a slap.

    Stanley groaned.

    Since being flattened, Stanley could do all sorts of useful things. He could travel by mail, slide under doors, and fly like a kite. But being half an inch thick also had its disadvantages.

    It sure doesn’t help one bit in a blizzard! Stanley thought.

    Arthur ran up. Are you okay? he cried over the howling wind.

    Stanley gritted his chattering teeth. I hate this weather!

    Arthur nodded and held out his hand. Hold on to me!

    Stanley couldn’t grab his brother’s outstretched mitten. So Arthur leaned into the wind and battled down the sidewalk, dragging Stanley’s body flapping behind him like a cape.
