The Frankie Files

Are you ready for Monsters and Mayhem?

Frankie wants to be a famous inventor, but her inventions are always getting her into Monster Trouble.

“Dear Santa,
I’m really, really sorry, I didn’t mean to take the video of you getting stuck in the chimney last year. It just happened. I was hoping to take pictures of my brother stealing my present from under the Christmas tree, like he does every year.
And I’m extra sorry I put the clip up on YouTube…”

Buckle up and enjoy Frankie’s magical love of science.

Description

Like, Frankenstein, The Frankie Files is an epistolary novel. It includes short stories previously published in Australian School Journals, including the Sir Julius Vogel Award winning, “Frankie and the Netball Clone.”

The Frankie Files is the perfect read for aspiring inventors, and scientists, aged 7-11 as the story follows the young dyslexic genius from primary school to intermediate. With fun monster invention notes, and more, it’s a book imaginative young minds should not miss.

Reviews

Michelle Child ~ “It’s brilliant. I love every single thing about it. The science, the educational aspect, the humour, the sweetness… So easy to read and so fun… This is like the best thing I’ve read for kids since Dahl.”

Debbie Cowens ~ “The incorrigibly curious Frankie is a delightful aspiring inventor whose creations cause a bit of trouble and chaos. I really enjoyed the Monster Invention Logbook sections and the quirky humour.”

Marjorie ~ “This became an instant classroom favorite. The kids LOVE Frankie and want to know when there will be more books about her crazy inventions. It is fun watching them play out the stories and draw their versions Martie and Frankenclone. We’ve actually had a rash of baby Martie sightings lately~ I love it when a book piques their imagination!”
