Bookroo's summary

Franny K. Stein, the quirky mad scientist, decides to eliminate her pesky feelings using a machine. But when a virus she accidentally releases starts turning people into toads, she must rely on her grandma, Granny Fran, and her newfound Sense of Duty to save the day. Can Franny restore order before it's too late, or will her emotionless state lead to more chaos? Dive into this hilarious adventure where science meets unexpected consequences.

From the publisher

Fans of Goosebumps and Bill Nye the Science Guy will fall head over heels for Franny K. Stein, who is back with another laugh-out-loud experimental adventure in the tenth book in the Mad Scientist series. Franny K. Stein has had quite enough of her feelings getting in the way. So she physically removes them with the help of one of her machines. But it turns out that not having feelings can make things even worse, especially when you’ve accidentally released a virus that’s turning everybody into toads. Good thing she has the help of her grandma, Granny Fran, and her Sense of Duty to help her shake the apathy.
