Synopsis

In this episode of Jim Benton's New York Times bestselling series, mad scientist Franny K. Stein thinks her new canine lab assistant Igor is useless, ordering him to keep his paws off everything in her bustling laboratory. But after the hapless dog's bouncing toy accidentally triggers Franny's Manifester, it creates a living Cupid who soon grows into a 50-foot giant. When the giant's huge arrows threaten a bus full of kids, intrepid Franny must come to the rescue. "Fast paced and very funny ."-Library Journal
