Fantastic Frankie and the Brain Drain Machine (Unabridged‪)‬

When Frankie Blewitt brings home yet another F-for-failure school report, his parents decide to send him to boarding school.

Frankie discovers that the headmaster, Dr Gore, has plans to turn the students into robot-like super-brains using his brain-drain machine! With the help of his new friends, Neet and Wes, his crazy French nanny, Alphonsine, and a poodle named Colette, can Frankie save the day?
