Plane crashes, robberies and fires were not what Stanley was expecting on a day out at the seaside with his nan and the other residents of her care home! Nan doesn't know about his superpowers, so Super Stan can't step in to help as it would blow his cover.

"Bursting with humour and wit, Earle's punchy story and Steve May's vibrant illustrations serve up a brilliant superhero story with a surprising hero at its heart" – A Word About Books
