Oh, how wonderful that Franny K. Stein is not your average third grade girl! She likes her bedroom dark and spooky, and she fills it with bats and a snake house and test tubes! This kid is quite the individual, but, at school, it's hard for Franny to make friends. She's just so different, and the other kids aren't quite sure what to make of her. Her teacher talks to her and has complete confidence that being such a smart young lady, Franny will be able to figure out how to make friends by thinking of this as an 'experiment.' So, Franny takes a look at the other kids and for a short while, she tries to blend in ' that is until someone puts unstable industrial waste into the trashcan. Now, danger lurks and only the very special genius of Franny K. Stein will save the day. Other books in this series include Attack of the 50-Ft.
