Synopsis

Franny K. Stein is back with another laugh-out-loud experimental adventure in the eighth book in the Mad Scientist series from Jim Benton, the New York Times bestselling author-illustrator of Dear Dumb Diary and Happy Bunny. Franny K. Stein isn't a fan of glamour. She doesn't style her hair, the thought of wearing makeup makes her want to gag, and she couldn't care less about wearing dressy dresses when she'd much prefer her lab coat. But sometimes Franny wonders if her mom wishes she were different. Which gives Franny an idea.for an experiment! What if she can turn the beauty products her mom loves into something more exciting? Every experiment has its experimental error, and when Franny's hair takes on a life of its own, Franny must save the day (and her hair) to finally realize her mom loves her just the way she is.

Goodreads review by Brynn

As one of the first books I was able to read on my own, I fell in love with this book. It takes a simple thing and goes miles away from it only to come back and remind children that they aren't alone in their issues. It makes a seemingly difficult issue very comical and relatable.......more
