This fun, goofy chapter book is the latest (after a ten-year hiatus) in the Franny K. Stein: Mad Scientist series. Franny decides to learn about the strangest, craziest thing she knows of: her mother. This results in several adventures involving powerful, shape-shifting, and self-aware hair.

Recommendation: Buy it if you have young kids/nieces/nephews/siblings. Both the story and the charming art are worth multiple readings.
