Hi! My name is Flat Stanley. I accidentally got squished as flat as a pancake when a bulletin board fell on me. Other than being flat, I'm perfectly fine! In fact, I've actually discovered some advantages to being flat. I can be a kite, and I can slide under doors.

I normally live with my friend Nathan in Michigan, but he thought it would be a good idea for me to explore the world and see new things. For my first trip, he sent me to stay with his cousins Ryan and Erica in Tampa, Florida! So far, it's awesome. It's really hot here, and we are planning on going to the beach this weekend.

I will be staying here until Thanksgiving, and I can't wait to discover new advantages of being flat in Tampa and share them here with you!
