Stanley Explains Everything*: *Almost

Stanley’s life is pretty normal. He goes to school, hangs out with friends, and plays video games. Sometimes he has to do family stuff, especially when relatives come from out of town. But when Stanley’s grandfather comes from way out of town (as in beyond the grave) to visit, Stanley’s life goes from normal to paranormal! His best friend doesn’t believe in ghosts. The school psychologist wants to have him committed. Worst of all, most of the kids at school think he’s weird. Determined to find out what happened before he’s laughed out of middle school (or worse!) Stanley assembles a group of mostly misfits to help him solve the mystery of his grandfather’s ghostly appearance … before it’s too late. Along the way, Stanley (and you!) learn enough science and critical thinking skills to A) hunt ghosts yourself and B) make this book educational enough that your parents might buy it for you and your teachers might let you read it in class. Stanley Explains Everything (Almost) will keep readers entertained for hours.* Parents and teachers will love it as well. (Unless they’re English teachers whose super-secret, mega-evil plan for worldwide domination is exposed herein.) But beware the dark side! There is a chance readers of this funny (and creepy!) story will learn to think for themselves. Everyone knows that (in the wrong hands) independent thought can be a very dangerous thing. You have been warned. *depending upon how fast they read
