A young girl explains how simple machines, such as pulleys, wedges, and screws, work as she repairs her friend's skateboard, the mayor's flag pole, and her neighbor's scissor.
"Franny can fix anything. Others might throw broken items away, but not Franny! Repairing and reusing is easy when you break it down into parts: a bicycle is gears, levers, screws, a pulley, and wheels. It's all basic engineering! Readers follow along as Franny bikes around town and helps friends and neighbors fix their machines and learn how they work. A skateboard, a bicycle, even a pair of scissors, there's nothing Franny can't repair." --Amazon.com.
