Synopsis

In this sixth entry in Jim Benton's New York Times best-selling series, pint-sized Franny K. Stein dreams up a zany cure for having too much to do. Being a mad scientist in the modern world is tough enough already-without the added burden of soccer, cooking, and bagpipe classes. To keep up with her many activities, Franny decides to clone herself the mad-science way by building three customized, steel-plated Franbots. Now she can excel in all she does-and still have time for what's most important. And then, something begins to go wrong. "Smart, confident, and totally PUNK!"-National Enquirer

Overall, I thought this book was amazing because it was realistic fiction and realistic fiction books are my favorite. a reason why I liked the book so much was because Franny K.
