Politics. Power. Popularity. And... a mad scientist running for student body president?

In The Frandidate by Jim Benton, Franny K. Stein is back—and this time, she’s taking her experiments into the world of student government. But here’s the thing: Franny’s not exactly the warm-and-fuzzy type. She’s a brilliant, slightly terrifying, totally hilarious kid with a lab coat and a plan.

Her campaign strategy? Logic. Precision. SCIENCE.
Her goal? World domination. Just kidding... mostly.

“I’m not trying to take over the world. I’m just trying to improve it. One explosive invention at a time.”

Franny doesn’t play by the rules. She builds her own. Literally. Her version of campaigning includes high-tech gadgets, science-powered speeches, and of course—mild explosions. As the election heats up, so does the chaos. Will the students vote for the weird genius who actually has solutions? Or for the popular kid with cool hair?

This book is sharp, funny, and sneakily educational. Perfect for ages 7–12, it teaches critical thinking, confidence, and creativity—all wrapped in wild fun. And it’s exactly the kind of story that gets kids hooked on reading.
