#28 -- Lunch Walks Among Us

This is book #1 in the extremely popular Franny K. Stein series by Jim Benton.  Franny is a little strange.  She has bats in her room, she eats weird lunches, she is always making potions, and she dresses funny.  When she moves to a new town the other kids at school don't know how to take her and her weirdness.  Franny decides to change herself to be like everyone else.  She even decides to take a sandwich for lunch!  But Franny just cannot be like everyone else.  Eventually one of her experiments goes very wrong.  What happens with the experiment?  You will have to read to find out.

I had to read this book to see what all of the fuss was about and why the series always stays checked out from the library.  It was an extremely quick read (with a lot of pictures), but very entertaining - especially to the middle school aged brain!
