My younger sister recommended this book to me because it is a part of one of her favorite book series, and I really enjoyed reading it. The first reason I liked this book is because of the character development of Franny. Franny is a “mad scientist,” but the author makes sure to inform the reader that she is not the mean or diabolical type because she is just a little girl. Franny always wants to tell the truth, and she never wants to hurt anyone with her inventions, only help people. I like that the author makes this distinction because it doesn’t give students a bad impression or the idea that wanting to take over the world and punish people is okay. The second reason I liked this book is because of the engaging illustrations featured throughout the book. It is a great beginning chapter book because the pictures help the students visualize the text, but it is still a 110 page book with 20 different chapters. The illustrations are detailed for a chapter book, and they feature shading and outlining, which makes them look a little spooky. In addition, a lot of the illustrations are funny, which is always a great aspect in a book. The main idea of this book is that telling the truth is always the right option, and it will make you feel better than lying. ( )

Mrs.Shelly class is voting for a class president. Franny thought that she could do whatever she wanted to do, so she made a thing that is mixed with, a cat, a soccer ball, and a gum. The kids didn't like it, so Franny had to make something new that can convince the kids so they can make Franny become the class president. Franny made a cloth, if Franny wear this cloth, the cloth can change it's shape that Franny wants. Franny knew who likes which. So, when she sees the kid that likes a rabbit with a penguin dress, Franny turns the cloth to this rabbit. Do you think Franny can be the class president? ( )
