Synopsis

In this seventh madcap entry from Jim Benton's New York Times best-selling series, pint-sized Franny K. Stein has the perfect solution for getting elected class president the mad science way. In the privacy of her laboratory, Franny combines the DNA of a dog, a chameleon and a parrot to create the Frandidate-a candidate who says and does exactly what appeals to her classmates. But just as the Frandidate is poised to win the election, something goes terribly wrong.
