Nolan is a typical kid living in a typical 21st century American town. Ben Franklin is, well, Ben Franklin--Founding Father, inventor of the lightning rod and bifocals, and more. When, through a bizarre set of circumstances, Nolan and his little sister, Olive, find Ben in their house, chaos isn't far behind.

From introducing him to the toaster to taking him to the public library (another Ben invention) to preventing a nosy neighbor from blowing Ben's cover, Nolan does his best to be Ben's tour guide to the new world he helped form.

With tons of funny illustrations throughout--plus graphic novel-style sections interspersed--readers will love adventuring alongside this awesome threesome.
