Summary:
Frances Stenzel was just trying to prove her scientific worth to her parents so they would take her with them to their scientific symposiums for once; instead, she reawakened her great-grandfather's secret and most terrible invention. Before it can destroy the town, she sets off after it, with her pet chimp and sarcastic robot tutor by her side. But monster-hunting isn't easy, and she'll have to face a persistent constable, angry locals, and an unexpected friendship ahead, all while the trail for the monster goes cold and time is running out before her science career, and the city itself, are doomed forever.
