Excerpts
Chapter 3: Franny Takes the Cake
The announcement of the yearly Science Fair at school always filled Franny with mixed emotions. On the one hand, Franny loved creating new inventions and sharing them with others.
On the other hand, Franny already had a long list of projects in her lab that she was anxious to complete.
And on the other hand, it was always an extra challenge to create a project that the kids at school would appreciate. Wait a second, that wasthreehands.
Well, this is Franny we're talking about.
Franny explained it to her mom. "I want to do a good Science Fair project, but I really don't like to take time away from the other lab projects."
Her mom smiled. "You can't have it both ways, Franny. You know what they say: You can't have your cake and eat it too."
A wide grin came across Fanny's face. "You can't have your cake and eat it too? We'll see about that."
Franny walked quickly to her lab, with the blueprint of her next creation beginning to form inside her head as she went.
