Franny K. Stein Mad Scientist: Lunch Walks Among Us by Jim Benton

Things in which I am a big fan:
1. Books that kids enjoy
2. Books that get kids reading
3. Books that boys enjoy
4. Series books that spark an interest in reading

I am pretty sure that Franny K. Stein Mad Scientist is all of these things.  Lunch Walks Among Us is a quick read.  It also has lots of pictures, and is interactive (you are supposed to cut a few pages for sort of a flip book thingy). I would say it is a perfect book for reluctant readers.

Check out Jim Benton's website.

As a side note I also read 3 more of the Franny K. Stein books.  The stories are all pretty similar, in fact I am 99% sure the first paragraph of each was identical.  The books are pretty cute and great for reluctant readers.
