Stan Stinky

Author: Hannah Shaw

Look for a school holiday read? Look no further than this funny rodent adventure for girls and boys. Stan Stinky is fed up that his friends are all off on exciting holidays surfing the storm drains of the Bahamas, while he is stuck in the sewer where he has lived all his life. His mum has to work through the holidays, which means Stan does too – aboard his uncle’s ramshackle boat, The Noodle. Uncle Ratts and Roachy believe themselves to be great seafaring adventurers, but Stan sees that they just hang about in the sewer doing the smelly odd-jobs nobody else would touch. Still, it’s a good job Stan Stinky is around, for when The Noodle gets into trouble, it’s up to our sewer hero to save the day. Witty illustrations on every page add to the fun of this enjoyable book, the first which Hannah Shaw has both written and illustrated.
