United States finds this information out he calls Flat Stanley and his family and asks them to come to Washington to see him in his private plan. When they get to Washington the President asks Flat Stanley and his family if they would go to space and interact with aliens called Tyranns. In the end Flat Stanley and his family agree to go to space and when they get to the Tyranns planet the Tyranns try to kidnap them so that they can convince Earth to send back food and water for them until their planet comes back to life. However, Flat Stanley comes up with a plan to have the whole town of Tyranns go back to Earth with them and live in their own TyrannaVillage Two until their planet comes back to life.
Critique: This is a good early chapter realistic fiction book because not only does it have chapters but Flat Stanley and his family get to meet the president, go to space, and interact with space aliens. This is realistic fiction because in the book when Flat Stanley and his family meet the Tyranns (the alien people) one of the Tyranns tries to paralyze Arthur, Stanley's brother, by using a machine kind of like gun type thing. This type of thing can not happen in real life however, people do go to the moon. This is also realistic fiction because all of Flat Stanley's family could not go to space in a really tiny space ship, and they would not talk to space aliens. However, you can go to the moon so that is what makes the story realistic.
