Fran That Time Forgot
Fran That Time Forgot | Jim Benton
1 post | 4 read
Goosebumps and Bill Nye the Science Guy fans, meet Franny! Franny K. Stein didn't think the time would ever come when someone would realize what the K in her name stood for. And she REALLY didn't think that same someone would say her middle name in front of the whole school! But that's what happened at the Science Fair award ceremony, and all the kids and teachers burst out laughing. So Franny does what any respectable mad scientist would do--she goes back in time to change her name. However, things don't turn out quite as she calculated, and Franny ends up having to face her teenage self in a warped, fourth-dimensional, kid-versus-teen, good-versus-evil, Franny-versus-Franny battle of the minds!

LOVED this series as a kid! Franny K. Stein is my favorite mad scientist. This series is about a young girl named franny who is somewhat iced out by her classmates because of her strange behavior and has to battle the tons of creatures and awkward situations some of which she creates herself. This SF story in particular talks about the time that franny decides to chance her middle name but it‘s not as simple as she would think. #UCFLAE3414SU19

BeverlyMel Not only would this story just be a great IR but you could also do an AS on Jim Benton who is also the author of the Dear Dumb Diary series. This link is the link to reading comprehension questions as according to UDL 3.3; teachers can model ESOL strategy 6

galacticbees Wow I totally forgot about these books, this post was like a blast from the past. My future students will definitely have this in our classroom library. 5y
DrSpalding What other genre could this be besides science-fiction? This could be an addition to a classroom library and I agree with IR or AS as options. 5y
