The Fran with Four Brains - Jim Benton
CHAPTER ONE
FRANNY’S HOUSE
The Stein family lived in the pretty pink house with lovely purple shutters down at the end of Daffodil Street. Everything about the house was bright and cheery. Everything, that is, except the upstairs bedroom with the tiny round window.
The window looked in on a bedroom, where one of the busiest mad scientists on earth was working away to keep all of her projects and experiments on schedule.
She had a colony of bearded slugs that needed to be shaved each morning. She had a giant centipede that needed help with her shoes every day. She had her own breed of soy plant that had to be milked daily.
Franny’s lab projects were a lot of work, but Franny truly loved mad science, so she never minded putting in the time.
CHAPTER TWO
FRANNY’S SCHOOL
Franny also liked school. Her teacher, Miss Shelly, was great, and she always kept the kids busy with lots of challenging projects.
Already that year, they had spent time studying dinosaurs, poetry, and even ancient Egypt, which Franny really enjoyed . . . even though her extra-credit project ate a custodian.
Miss Shelly later made Franny unzip the mummy and release the custodian unharmed, although Franny protested and said that everybody knows mummies eat people every once in a while and that custodians should know better than to get too close.
Great teachers like Miss Shelly always
