The hijinks continue in the fourth book in Franken-Sci High, the wacky
series created with The Jim Henson Company.
Franken-Sci High is the only school in the world for aspiring mad
scientists and it's located on a craggy island in the Bermuda Triangle,
of course! While some mad scientists are power-hungry maniacs, the
school was founded in 1536 as a refuge for generations of brilliant--and
sometimes eccentric--young minds. Students are encouraged to use their
brainpower for good, but the teachers accept that some kids will want to
take over the world...and the school cafeteria.
Odifin Pinkwad exists as a brain in a jar, and when he sets his mind to
something...watch out! He finds out about a special Franken-Sci High
event: A Mad Scientists and Brilliant Brains Trivia Night, and he is
determined to win the special prize for first place. His plan to win?
Plug into the jars holding famous brains in the school library's Brain
Bank and transfer their knowledge to himself. Odifin thinks he has
Trivia Night in the bag, but as he gets greedy for more and more
brainpower and figures out how to connect to all the brains at once, he
starts to grow, and grow, and grow. Soon he's a giant brain who exists
in a shark tank instead of a jar! He's smarter than ever, but being a
massive brain has some downsides: He needs more and more
challenges--like doing the homework of every student in school for fun
and making the lights flicker every time someone says "Odifin"--just to
keep his brain busy. The strangest thing of all, though, is what happens
next...when Newton Warp finds out a surprising detail about Odifin's
past that could change everything!
