TEASER: Franky Stein recently turned twelve. His parents have assured him that he can talk to them about anything. Well, anything except the zipper-shaped scar on the back of his dad's neck, Grandpa's exact age, and what's hidden in the garage freezer. Think you've got problems? They're nothing in comparison to Franky Stein's. - His father is Frankenstein. - Most of the family swears that frozen pus is delicious. - Gramps works at a morgue where a LOT of body parts are missing. SUMMARY: Love is in the air in Nebraska. Franky's French teacher (Mr. Lefevre) wants to say "I do" to Mary Shelley as soon as possible, but she wants to be as far as possible from the smells of Wahoo (where pigs outnumber people). Basketball coach Kat Krootch knows it's now or never to make some major moves on the suddenly eligible Lefevre, but her ex isn't ready to let her go. Krootch and her Harley Davidson are retrieved - both frozen, both perfectly preserved - from the local lake. Franky's grandfather, who works at the morgue, is instantly smitten. He fires up the Spark-O-Matic and the corpse lurches back to life inside the Stein family's garage. Shockingly, Krootch decides that Grandpa isn't her type. Crackling with energy, she steals a wedding dress and makes a full-court press on poor Lefevre during his wedding. Who's going to save the day and kick some major butt while doing so? Frank N. Stein, Jr., that's who. Armed only with what he can scavenge from the back end of a pet ambulance, Franky must battle Krootch's ex as well as "Bridezilla" herself. And what does our hero have to say about all of this? Bring 'em on! Author's Website: www.LeeSmyth.com
