註釋The University of Doom--pushing science and engineering into the realm of the supernatural, beyond the limits of physics, chemistry, biology, and common sense.What kid wouldn't want to attend the University of Doom? Study cadaver recomposition, time travel, designing killer cyborgs. And afterschool activities include flying captured UFOs and monster fishing in the Lake of Terror. It's a curriculum dedicated to limitless wonder, mayhem, and inhuman experiments.Thirteen-year-old Alfonso Frankenstein is right at home at the University of Doom, the super-secret Center for Evil Genius Academia and Mad Science. He wants to be a mad scientist like his father, Dr. Eugino Frankenstein. But when the family nemesis, Professor James Moriarty, levels trumped-up charges against the Frankensteins, Alfonso's dreams are dashed. He and his father are exiled to a dreary suburban neighborhood, where they must hide their evil-genius past and adjust to life as normal people.Alfonso defies his father's warnings against using mad science so he can sneak back to the University of Doom and foil the professor's plans to involve Alfonso's father in a dastardly scheme. While the university was once his home, Alfonso is now an outsider, and he--with his new best friend Sarah Baker--must outsmart Moriarty and the campus' security force of monsters and robots. It's a race against a disaster that could forever destroy the Frankensteins and smash Alfonso's hopes of becoming an evil genius.
