Jim Benton''s tales from Mackerel Middle School.

When Franny Stein, self-styled mad scientist, creates a robot to show her school friends the joys of science, she ends up learning something from them instead. There''s nothing better in the world than being a mad scientist-at least according to Franny. And she''s absolutely convinced that, if given the opportunity to be one, every kid in her class would feel the same way. So she''s making it her mission to help her classmates discover their own inner mad scientists. All Franny needs for her latest experiment is a few volunteers, a half-completed two-headed robot, and an invisibility potion. Only this experiment just might prove to be Franny''s most difficult. What do you do when your classmates don''t know anything about mad science, and there''s a doubly dumb robot running amok to prove it? In a celebrated new series that the Bulletin of the Center for Children''s Books heralded as having the "glib, kid-appealing insouciance of Captain Underpants with an intelligence all its own," Jim Benton provides emergent readers with a chapter book that is "both smart and snork-worthy."

School''s out for summer, and that means no more Meatloaf Thursdays, Sunday homework cramming, or teachers (way way unsucessfully) trying to act cool. It also means that Mackerel Middle Schoolers have a lot of time on their hands...and seriously empty pockets.Isabella is going to change all of that. And Jamie and Angeline are going to help--whether they like it or not. It''s the best kind of teamwork: when a whole bunch of people work together to do something wrong, instead of doing wrong one at a time.

Jamie Kelly reveals in her diary that she has agreed to be friends with Angeline in order to save her aunt Carol''s marriage to the girl''s uncle, and details the problems associated with the friendship.

"It''s an eventful month for Jamie Kelly. Stinker and Stickybuns'' litter of puppies has arrived, which makes Jamie and her nemesis Angeline "in-laws by dog". " -- publisher.

Jamie Kelly shares with her diary the story of her haunted jeans and their role in the fluctuating levels of popularity at Mackerel Middle School.

Jamie Kelly shares with her diary her excitement about the fact that students from Wodehouse Middle School will be going to Mackerel Middle School temporarily.

Jamie''s struggles continue with school issues and grades, especially in math, as she ponders life''s big questions.

Determined to be elected class president, mad scientist Frannie K. Stein uses her Atomic Combiner to create a suit that makes her seem to be whatever a voter wants her to be, but the suit has plans of its own.

Jamie, Isabella, and Angeline have known each other for a long time. They''ve even become friends -- whether Jamie likes it or not. But when the trio starts a friendly competition, all bets are off. The loser will be treated to a game of Dare or Worse Dare ... with Isabella. (And Jamie''s pretty sure that''s like having a banana-peeling contest with a starving monkey. The monkey always wins.) What could go wrong? Probably everything. And it''s probably all that blondwad Angeline''s fault. Probably.

"Franny es una niña muy inteligente, le encanta el colegio y tambeín hacer locos experimentos científicos. Pero sus compañeros piensan que es un poco rara... Franny, en su afán por ser aceptada, quiere convencerlos para que se interesen por la ciencia loca. Para conseguirlo, Franny construirá un robot y creará una fórmula para ser invisible."--Back cover.
