Franny K. Stein isn't a fan of glamour. She doesn't style her hair, the thought of wearing makeup makes her want to gag, and she couldn't care less about wearing dressy dresses when she'd much prefer her lab coat. But sometimes Franny wonders if her mom wishes she were different. Which gives Franny an idea...for an experiment! What if she can turn the beauty products her mom loves into something more exciting? Every experiment has its experimental error, and when Franny's hair takes on a life of its own, Franny must save the day (and her hair).

Publisher's Summary
In this sixth entry in Jim Benton’s New York Times best-selling series, pint-sized Franny K. Stein dreams up a zany cure for having too much to do. Being a mad scientist in the modern world is tough enough already—without the added burden of soccer, cooking, and bagpipe classes.
To keep up with her many activities, Franny decides to clone herself, the mad-science way, by building three customized, steel-plated Franbots. Now she can excel in all she does—and still have time for what’s most important. And then, surprise: something begins to go wrong.
