Stan has found himself a starring role as superhero in a popular TV show.


Heโ€™s absolutely terrified.

After surviving a holiday to Italy without his parents (which included jellyfish and giant watermelons), Stan reckons he deserves a bit of a break. Or at a least a break in between trying to act in his school play.

But when heโ€™s offered the chance to take a tour around a TV studio, he thinks it canโ€™t do any harm.

How wrong he is.

Before Stan can say โ€˜Boy of Steelโ€™ heโ€™s landed himself a part as a main character in one of the most well-known TV shows there is โ€“ as a brainy superhero.

Convinced heโ€™s going to embarrass himself in front of millions of people โ€“ and worried about leaving his friends to face a school play on their own โ€“ can Stan find a way to use his new-found fame for good?

Or will he be the Worst. Superhero. Ever . . .
