Frantastic Voyage

by Jim Benton Narrated by Michele Medlin

Overview

In this madcap episode of Jim Benton's New York Times best-selling series, Franny K. Stein must find and disarm her Doomsday Device before it blows up half the world. While mesmerized by TV's mind-numbing spell, Franny's lab assistant Igor accidentally gobbles up this tiny bomb. Putting on her protective suit, Franny shrinks herself, slips into Igor's snout, and heads for his foul-smelling stomach. But as the remaining seconds tick away, Franny must overcome unexpected challenges to prevent the final KABOOM.

Editorial Reviews

First of all, a point of clarification: Igor, Franny's faithful lab assistant, is not a full-bred Labrador. He's part poodle, part Chihuahua, part beagle...well, you get the picture. So when Igor swallows the doomsday device, Franny K. Stein responds both as a frantically mad scientist and a devoted dog owner, which of course complicates the matter of extraction. As always, Jim Benton's "frantastic" voyages can please both kids and adults.

School Library Journal

Gr 2-5-In this lively fifth installment in the series, Franny finds herself in a panic when her faithful canine assistant swallows her latest invention. She then must delve the depths-of Igor's stomach-to retrieve her Doomsday Device. While totally unbelievable, the child's imaginative voyage takes her swimming through a sea of snot and boogers and combines the gross-out factor with black-and-white cartoons. The story will appeal to both boys and girls, and the writing style (and even the typeface) is age appropriate. Plus, the very short chapters with art on every page will hold the attention of even the most reluctant readers.-Diane Eddington, Los Angeles Public Library Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
