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 tiny round window looked in on the bedroom and laboratory of Franny K. Stein, Little Girl Mad Scientist.
Recently, in this very lab, Franny had created Zero Gravity Dog Food, to make walking her dog, Igor, more fun.
And before that, she had invented Cannibalistic Broccoli that ate itself, so kids who hated eating vegetables would never have to.
And she still had a giant, hamster-powered trike, which she had created when she was only three years old.
She had been a mad scientist since she was just a baby. And Franny had been building and accumulating her creations in this lab as long as she could remember.
And she was very, very serious about it. She always had been.
