Summary

Frances Stenzel is an aspiring scientist, and one day she'll be a world-famous inventor like her parents . . . if they'd only let her leave their isolated manor and join them at their scientific symposiums. When Frances is left home yet again with only an infuriatingly clever robot named Hobbes for company, she enters her parents' off-limits laboratory, determined to claim her freedom and prove her scientific worth. Instead, she accidentally reawakens her great-grandfather's secret and most terrible invention - an enormous monster who breaks out of the manor and disappears into the town below. With her pet chimp, Fritz, and a reluctant Hobbes by her side, Frances sets off to find the monster, facing a persistent constable, angry locals, and an unexpected friendship along the way. But with the trail going cold and the monster nowhere in sight, Frances is running out of time before her science career, and the town itself, are doomed forever
