Perfectly funny

The perfect fast-paced funny choice for kids in grades 1-3. Plus, Benton sneaks in some life lessons with the madcap adventure of it all.

Franny K. Stein is not worried about all those other things other people worry about–she just wants to do experiments and other mad scientists things. And you know what, I love that!!! And I definitely saw what Benton was trying to do with this book when it comes to glamour and such, but I, as a parent, just didn’t like to see Franny’s mom put a bit of passive aggressive pressure on Franny to be anything other than her amazing self. I mean, she makes creatures and fights them–what does a little messy hair matter?! But in the end, Franny’s mom and the reader are reminded of this, so once again Franny can go on being herself.

Hysterical and delightful. Perfect for the budding scientist and the creative humor is delightful. I appreciated this one that dabbled in the beauty equipment and how it all went awry.
