What's The Frandidate About

Publisher Summary

Goosebumps and Bill Nye the Science Guy fans, meet Franny! Franny K. Stein, Mad Scientist, has always had her eye on world domination, and she has to start somewhere…like her class elections! If people vote for her, they’ll be giving her all the control she wants. But Franny’s platform doesn’t have the same appeal as her competitors who are offering new playground equipment, so she creates The Frandidate. Made of DNA samples from a dog, a chameleon and a parrot, along with a scrap of carpet (so she’ll know where people stand), Franny’s special suit helps her say and do exactly what people want! But when The Frandidate starts making promises she knows she can’t keep, Franny realizes she might have gone too far…
