About this book
When Stanley accidentally trips twin acrobats right before their big Chinese New Year performance, he volunteers to help make things right. His flatness turns out to be a perfect fit for the troupe’s amazing routines, but learning the tricks—and the meaning behind the celebration—won’t be easy. Readers travel with Stanley to China, where teamwork, responsibility, and quick thinking take center stage. Short chapters, humor, and action make this a fun pick for early elementary readers.
