The Boy with the Lampshade on His Head

Stanley Krakow is a shy fifth-grader who prefers to stay invisible, using a lampshade as his makeshift superhero mask while he daydreams about being a champion athlete. When a new classmate arrives at school and finds herself in trouble, Stanley must leave his safe, unnoticed world behind and step up as the hero he's only ever pretended to be. Along the way he confronts bullies and his own doubts, learning that being noticed can be a strength, not a curse.
