      Stanley may have thought his adventures were over after his flatness, magical genie escapade, and time in space were all concluded, but not so. He has many more unusual experiences in store. In this story, he manages to make himself invisible. This occurs because of the odd combination of a lightning storm, eating raisins, and being hit in just the right two places, all at the same moment. By this time, the Lambchops are a bit when it comes to their son's unusual life changing occurrences, so they don't waste time in fretting, but hustle him off to the doctor.

      Stanley uses his powers for good - helping his little brother get a taste of fame and stopping a robbery. But he is relieved to be back to normal by the end of the book, thanks to the help of his whole family.

      When you eat fruit in bad weather do you really become invisible?
    • 3/5
      This modern fantasy children's chapter book tells us about the crazy life of the Lambchops. One night, Stanley is awoken by the storm that is outside but he also realizes that he is very hungry. So he finds some fruit and eats it while looking out the window at the storm. The next morning Stanley's family is looking all over for him and he looks down at himself and he realizes the unthinkable: He is INVISIBLE. This story goes through all of the adventures that Stanley and his family face while Stanley is invisible. Stanley proposes to someone, catches burglars, does a magic trick, and so much more! However, being invisible isn't always fun, sometimes it is nice to be seen. So Stanley's brother Arthur decides to recreate the storm that Stanley saw that one night. Stanley eats the same fruit during this fake storm and it works! Stanley is visible once again!

    Invisible Stanley - Jeff Brown

    Prologue

    Stanley Lambchop spoke into the darkness above his bed. I can’t sleep. It’s the rain, I think.

    There was no response from the bed across the room.

    I’m hungry, too, Stanley said. Are you awake, Arthur?

    I am now, said his younger brother. You woke me.

    Stanley fetched an apple from the kitchen and ate it by the bedroom window. The rain had worsened.

    I’m still hungry, he said.

    Raisins . . . shelf . . . murmured Arthur, half asleep again.

    Crash! came thunder. Lightning flashed.

    Stanley found the little box of raisins on a shelf by the window. He ate one.

    Crash! Flash!

    Stanley ate more raisins.

    Crash! Flash!

    Arthur yawned. Go to bed. You can’t be hungry still.

    I’m not, actually. Stanley got back into bed. "But I feel sort of . . . oh, different, I guess."

    He slept.

    Where Is Stanley?

    Breakfast is ready, George. We must wake the boys, Mrs. Lambchop said to her husband.

    Just then, Arthur Lambchop called from the bedroom he shared with his brother.

    Hey! Come here! Hey!

    Mr. and Mrs. Lambchop smiled, recalling another morning that had begun like this. An enormous bulletin board, they discovered, had fallen on Stanley during the night, leaving him unhurt but no more than half an inch thick. And so he had remained until Arthur blew him round again, weeks later, with a bicycle pump.

    Hey! The call came again. Are you coming? Hey!

    Mrs. Lambchop held firm views about good manners and correct speech. Hay is for horses, not people, Arthur, she said as they entered the bedroom. As well you know.

    Excuse me, said Arthur. "The thing is, I can hear Stanley, but I can’t find him!"

    Mr. and Mrs. Lambchop looked about the room. A shape was visible beneath the covers of Stanley’s bed, and the pillow was squashed down, as if a head rested upon it. But there was no head.

    Why are you staring? The voice was Stanley’s.

    Smiling, Mr. Lambchop looked under the bed but saw only a pair of slippers and an old tennis
