Bookroo's summary

Franny K. Stein, a young mad scientist, faces humiliation when her middle name is revealed at the Science Fair. Determined to rewrite history, she travels back in time to change it. But her plan backfires, thrusting her into a bizarre confrontation with her teenage self. In a twisted, fourth-dimensional battle of wits, Franny must outsmart her own past to restore order. Can she navigate this kid-versus-teen, good-versus-evil clash and emerge victorious? Discover the chaos and creativity in Franny's wild adventure.

From the publisher

Goosebumps and Bill Nye the Science Guy fans, meet Franny! Franny K. Stein didn’t think the time would ever come when someone would realize what the K in her name stood for. And she REALLY didn’t think that same someone would say her middle name in front of the whole school! But that’s what happened at the Science Fair award ceremony, and all the kids and teachers burst out laughing. So Franny does what any respectable mad scientist would do–she goes back in time to change her name. However, things don’t turn out quite as she calculated, and Franny ends up having to face her teenage self in a warped, fourth-dimensional, kid-versus-teen, good-versus-evil, Franny-versus-Franny battle of the minds!
