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

"My favorite of the Franny books so far. We've read at least four of them now. The later ones have a slight showing of some "attitude" but this one and the first, Lunch Walks Among Us, keep Aidan busy for days----creating similar inventions in his "lab" ;-) "
— Deirdre (4 out of 5 stars)
" I really like Franny K. Stein - she is always coming up with something and there is usually a fun lesson. In this case, Franny's Franbots start to take over without orders from her. "
