Bookroo's summary
Mrs. Jeepers' class visits a science museum, but their curiosity leads them to a hidden lab. The curator, Dr. Victor, has an assistant named Frank, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Frankenstein's monster. As the students, including Liza, piece together clues, they wonder if Frank is more than he seems. Could the monster from Liza's book be real? With secrets lurking in the greenhouse, the kids must unravel the truth behind Frank's identity. Join the Bailey School third graders on a thrilling adventure where science and mystery collide.
From the publisher
The 19th book from the hugely popular early chapter book series to re-emerge with a new look! Brand-new eye-catching cover art brings a modern feel to this classic monster series for young readers. Mrs. Jeepers is taking her class to a science museum. But when they stumble onto a secret lab, it looks like the real science is going on behind the scenes! The curator, Dr. Victor, has a helper named Frank. Frank is tall, scarred, and likes to spend time in the greenhouse with his flowers – just like the creature in the book Liza just read. But Frank couldn’t really be Frankenstein’s monster, could he?
