About this book
Young Franklin Stein is lonely for a friend, so he builds one -- a monstrous thing called Fred -- from unusual odds and ends. The neighbors are alarmed and use words like "WICKED ABOMINABLE DUMB SINISTER ATROCIOUS WEIRD REVOLTING." But after entering a pet show, the labels become much more positive. And in the end Fred does help Franklin find a friend.
