Stanley is not excited to resume his flatness - but his trial makes him uniquely suited to help someone else, which is a good lesson to learn.

This book was a great continuation of invisible Stanley. The part I enjoyed best was when Stanley uses his one inch thick body to think about others and he helps them in ways none of us could. Twice he comes to the rescue and saves the day. This is a heroic tale of a boy who is not afraid of his flatness and his brother who wants to inflate him with a pump. I think the theme to this book is "everything happens for a reason".

Stars: characterizationAge: IntermediateThis book is a good example of modern fantasy, because a boy would not become flat in real life. While the rest of the story, including characters and plot, are realistic, the fact that Stanley becomes flat makes the book fantasy, rather than realistic fiction.

Stanley is flat. This brings a unique situation for him to deal with and I feel that the reader is drawn into this by humanness of having to deal with something that is the norm. Stanley doesn't like it but he eventually comes to accept it and uses his uniqueness to his advantage when he has to rescue a little girl. This allows him to embrace what is his own and still be okay. I really liked this book because I feel it's something a child can relate to when they feel there is something that child may have that isn't unique or normal, per say. We all have unique qualities one way or another and I feel this is very well written in that content. The illustrations were very colorful and bright and I also liked that because it also drew you into what you were reading and made the reading seem real. I would definitely use this book with older children, say from 3rd grade and up. I think it would be excellent for social studies, english, and possibly even for art. I also like it for use that includes boys. Boys can have stories, too.

This is a good example of fantasy because it is a realistic world with one key point that requires the reader to withhold skepticism. Stanley is becomes flat, but the reader can still relate to how he feels about his struggles.

Genre: Fantasy because it is not realistic for a boy to become flat and do all the things Stanley did as a flat person, such as become a sail in a sailboat and fit into small cracks of buildings.
