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.

Behind this window was Franny's room, which was also her laboratory—her Mad Scientist Laboratory. Franny wasn't your average mad scientist. Franny wasn't planning to take over the universe, or galaxy, or even the world. Franny thought that maybe she should want to take over the world, being a mad scientist and everything, but it seemed wrong to her somehow.

It was tempting, of course. If she were in charge, she knew she could use her genius to do all sorts of great things that people wouldn't let her do now. Like, if she added a pinch of kangaroo DNA to human cells, we wouldn't need cars anymore.

And if she made everybody's whole kitchen a microwave oven, they could just set the table, press a button, and everything would cook all at once.

Or she could go ahead with her plan to just squirt the sunscreen directly on the sun itself, so we wouldn't have to wipe it on ourselves all the time. And if she ever decided to take over the world, she knew nobody would be able to keep her from doing it. She could have used her Chimpofier to turn everybody into monkeys that she could easily control with a few bananas.
