Freddy and the French Fries #1: : Fries Alive!

"A master crafter of thrills, bestselling novelist David Baldacci shows his tremendous talent for side-splitting storytelling in this hilarious adventure about fame, friends, and family. Here is the story where readers first met Theodore, Wally, Curly, Ziggy, Si, and Meese (French fries so lovable you won't want to eat them!). But shoestring, waffle, wedge, curly, and crinkle-cut potatoes were never more irresistible than in this zany adventure about five giant fries that come to life--well, six if you count heads. It all begins when Freddy Funkhauser, an offbeat nine-year-old with a knack for science, embarks on an ambitious plan to win new customers for the family business, The Burger Castle. But when his secret invention ends up working better than he'd ever dreamed, his plans go wildly awry as his kooky companions wreak havoc in every corner of Freddy's world!" Freddy Funkhouser comes up with an idea to bolster business for his family's fast-food health restaurant, Burger Castle, and finally defeat Pookesville's biggest bully, Adam Spanker. When Freddy's fun invention goes awry, the results are five very funny French fries who come to life and wreak havoc in Freddy's family and community. With some help from his cheese-cube-loving best friend Howie Kapowie, and armed with his dad's inventions, Freddy and the French Fries set out to bring Spanker and his gang down in a final showdown, proving that brains have an edge over brawn any time. While competing with a rival restaurant for the winning float in the Founder's Day parade, nine-year-old Freddy Funkhouser constructs a batch of animated French fries in his secret laboratory that come to life after receiving an enormous jolt of electricity.
