A MICROCHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK All his fifth grade friends at P.S. 13 think Frankie Stein has inherited the electronic genius of his namesake, Baron Frankenstein. But Frankie isn't so sure. When he hears his father complain about the younger generation, he knows he is being put to the test. Can Frankie prove he is as good an inventor as his ancestor-or will his disillusioned parents turn him back into spare parts? C.D. Bitesky, Howie Wolfner, Elisa Stein and Danny and Barbara Keegan are willing to do anything to help their friend.

But when Frankie finds the disassembled pieces of a mechanical dog, only he can put them together-and finally bring the pet of Baron Frankenstein to life! WELCOME TO P.S. 13!.
