1-3Flat Stanley's Worldwide Adventures series.
Illustrated by
Macky Pamintuan.
Written by Josh Greenhunt. Stanley Lambchop's mother mails him to Mexico to retrieve a secret seasoning ingredient from their friend Carlos's abuela. Once there, Stanley outwits a band of spies hot on the trail of the same spice. Despite some stereotypical elements, many readers will find Stanley's escapades amusing. Black-and-white drawings decorate every chapter.
