Elaine Wickson

Elaine’s school reports said she was a bit of a daydreamer, but that’s because she was too busy thinking up stories. Nowadays she likes to think of herself as a professional daydreamer, and is often found in her Plotting Shed at the bottom of the garden, where all her ideas germinate.

Planet Stan is the first in a series about Stanley Fox, who charts all the ups and downs of his life through hilarious infographics. Published by Oxford University Press, Planet Stan has been shortlisted for the Lollies Laugh Out Loud 2020 Book Awards, and the Coventry Inspiration Book Awards.

Action Stan is one of BookTrust's Books We Love: 'The follow up to Planet Stan has all the fun of graphs and charts and laugh-out-loud humour but has evolved to explore friendships and bullying too, making it the perfect story to help young people navigate relationships. Fun science facts, quirky illustrations, and affable characters make this a book that children will race through.'

Super Stan was released in April 2020 and is a World Book Day recommended read for books about the planet and the environment.
