It might not even be much of a stretch to say he wants to model his life after him. So, with no particular training or superpowers, young Ernest decides to set up a crime fighting unit consisting entirely of his immediate friends and his dog. Ernest takes on the name of Gerbilwing, his best friend Jack becomes Nightstand, his sitter Harriet is dubbed Nightshadow, and his dog Westy takes on the crime-fighting alias of Night Terrier. Their very important training exercises-all designed by Ernest, of course, consist of Scowling, Standing Mysteriously on A Roof, and going on neighborhood patrol. But things get complicated when Ernest and Jack-er, we mean Gerbilwing and Nightstand--visit a bank that happens to be in the middle of a robbery. And not just any robbery, but one that's being committed by a werewolf! What's his connection to a number of "disasters" that have been going on in Ernest's neighborhood? Will The Batman Squad taste defeat on their very first day of crime-fighting?

Stein in this collectible paperback boxed set with the first ten laugh-out-loud experimental adventures in the Mad Scientist series. Franny K. Stein is not your average girl--she's a mad scientist. Her science experiments cause many misadventures from turning herself invisible to causing the ultimate bad hair day and more! Through it all, Franny relies on her wits and stays true to herself to save the day. This delightfully mad paperback collection includes: Lunch Walks Among Us Attack of the 50-Ft. Cupid The Invisible Fran The Fran That Time Forgot Frantastic Voyage The Fran with Four Brains The Frandidate Bad Hair Day Recipe for Disaster Mood Science
Franny K. Stein, Mad Scientist, has always had her eye on world domination, but she has to start somewhere...like her class elections! If people voted for her, they were "giving" her all the control she wanted. But Franny's platform doesn't have the same appeal as her competitors who are offering new playground equipment, so she finds another platform...The Frandidate. Made of DNA samples from a dog, a chameleon and a parrot, along with a scrap of carpet (so she'll know where people stand), Franny creates the perfect candidate who says and does exactly what people want to hear! But soon her suit starts making promises she knows she won't be able to keep and Franny realizes she might have gone too far. "The Frandidate" will give you everything you want, science, humor and some old fashioned politics!
In Lunch Walks Among Us, Franny finds it almost impossible to make friends--after all, she is pretty different. But Franny's a scientist. And inspired by her favorite teacher she undertakes one of the most difficult and dangerous experiments ever conducted. It's called "trying to fit in." In Attack of the 50-Ft. Cupid, every mad scientist needs a lab assistant, so that's what Franny gets for Valentine's Day--a Lab assistant. Except Igor isn't a purebred Lab. He's part just-about-everything--and all thumbs. So when he accidentally looses a giant, fifty-foot, arrow-shooting cupid, it's entirely up to Franny to save the day--or is it? Because, remember, every mad scientist needs a lab assistant. |
