Lunch Walks Among Us

Jim Benton delivers a madcap tale starring the strange yet endearing Franny K. Stein. The new kid at school, Franny approaches making friends as an exciting science project. After taking careful notes, she brews a potion that changes her into a perfect girl. But when a monster snatches her teacher, Franny knows there's only one way to save the day-even if it risks her new popularity. "This has the glib, kid-appealing insouciance of Captain Underpants with an intelligence all its own."-Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
