Frantastic Voyage

Frantastic Voyage is volume 5 of the Franny K. Stein series, an easy chapter book filled with just about as many illustrations as text space.  This book will be popular with reluctant readers and is geared more towards girls.  Franny is definitely not your typical girl, but considers herself right up there with her namesake.  Igor, her trusty lab assistant, plays a huge role in her mad science experiments.  Actually, kids who are science-oriented would probably be inspired by her thoughts of making her doomsday device and any of her other ideas, but the pun-ny humor and maniacal looks on Franny’s face are huge distractions.  I need to reserve judgment until I see how popular the book is, but for now, it looks like a book that is one that may be a hard sell.
