CHAPTER ONE FRANNY'S HOUSE The Stein family lived in the pretty pink house with lovely purple shutters down at the end of Daffodil Street. Everything about the house was bright and cheery. Everything, that is, except the upstairs bedroom with the tiny round window.

That room belonged to Franny K. Stein, and she liked to keep it dark, and spooky, and creepy. Every few days her mother would come in and redecorate Franny's bedroom with daisies, and lilacs, and pictures of lovely horses. It would always look so sweet and pretty. But by the very next day Franny would somehow manage to make it look dark, and creepy, and spooky again. That was how she liked it-like a dungeon, complete with giant spiders and bats.

"Bats! Where does she get bats?" her mother would ask when she saw Franny's room. "Is there a bat store around here or something?" Of course there wasn't a bat store around. The bats just kept showing up. The bats liked Franny's room, and Franny liked the bats. "They're like rats with pterodactyl wings," she'd say. "What's not to like?"
