1-3Franny K. Stein, Mad Scientist series.
When going to bagpipe lessons, soccer practice, and gourmet cooking class becomes too much, young mad scientist Franny K. Stein builds three Franbots--robot replicas of herself. But something goes awry, and the Franbots are determined to destroy anyone (including Franny) who interferes with their mission. The cartoon illustrations tend to crowd the pages, but they do add humor and personality.
