Looking for a funny book to entice reluctant readers? Look no further! Lunch Walks Among Us is a humorous tribute to intelligent misfits everywhere. Franny K. Stein, the main character, is a young mad scientist who would rather do spooky experiments than play with dolls or jump rope like other girls her age. Her bedroom is filled with bats, spiders and flying piranhas despite her mom's best efforts to fill it with daisies, lilacs and horse pictures to match the other cheerful rooms in their house on Daffodil Street.
At school, Franny has a difficult time fitting in because she doesn't understand the other children's interests and fashions. As an experiment, she decides to take notes on the other children's habits and then begins to dress and act like them. When an accident soon leads to the creation of a Giant Monstrous Fiend in the classroom, though, will Franny keep acting like the other children to fit in, or will she return to her mad scientist self to save the day?
Kids, especially those with their own quirky interests, will adore Franny K. Stein's unique personality and will find plenty of humor in the many books that feature her. Click here for the whole series!
