Determined to be elected class president, mad scientist Franny K. Stein uses her Atomic Combiner to create a suit that makes her seem to be whatever a voter wants her to be, but the suit has plans of its own. Book #7
Quick Summary
Franny K. Stein, the pint-size mad scientist from Jim Benton's beloved series, decides she wants to be class president, so she uses her Atomic Combiner to create a suit that makes her look like whatever each voter wants until the suit starts making its own decisions and the election turns into a hilariously chaotic mess. It's a quick, light-hearted read that mixes goofy humor with a touch of science-fiction gadgetry, and it works especially well for early elementary kids who love silly problem-solving and a sprinkle of mischief. The story feels more like a comic than a dense chapter book, and the short word count means even reluctant readers can zip through it in one sitting. Parents will appreciate that the scares are mild (the suit's antics are more goofy than truly scary) and that the tale quietly reminds kids to be themselves rather than try to be everything to everyone. If your kid enjoys the zany experiments of "The Magic School Bus" or the out-of-control humor of "The Bad Guys," Franny's latest scheme is right up their alley.
