Book #3 in the Frankinschool series
A failed poem turns a library trip into a mysterious adventure with unexpected transformations.
Fred's frustration with a library project leads him to write a magical poem, hoping to escape his troubles. But when the spell backfires, chaos ensues—books fly, students snooze, and his friend Drake sprouts head-snakes. As Fred transforms into Frankinschool, he must navigate a mansion-turned-library filled with secret passageways and ghosts. Can Fred unravel the mystery and mend his friendships before it's too late?
Fred’s emotions have gone to the dogs! Fred’s teacher and Luisa might be excited about their research trip to the library, but Fred is not. In fact, the whole project–and his continued failures at it–are making him angry! That is, until he realizes he has the perfect solution to his problem: Simply write one of his “What If” poems, tap into the power of pretend, turn into Frankinchool, and voila! Project, cancelled.Trouble is, the poem doesn’t work, which makes Fred even fussier–especially when speaking to his friends Luisa and Drake. But while on a quest to find Luisa and apologize, books fly off the library shelves, students nod off at their desk, Drake grows head-snakes, and once again, Fred becomes Frankinschool. But this time, they have no idea how or why.In Book Three of the Frankinschool mysteries, readers set off on an adventure with Frankinschool through secret passageways and grand rooms of a mansion-turned-library. Along the way, they run into old ghost-friends and a few new ones; they learn about managing expectations, anger, and friendships, and discover that sometimes going-to-the-dogs is a very good thing.
