Kat is reluctant to visit her Uncle Vic Frankenstein because the people in the small town where he lives say he's a mad scientist like his great-grandfather, Victor Frankenstein, but Kat is relieved to find that even though he lives in a dark, old castle-like mansion, he is a quiet, gentle man, a scientist interested in building robots with artificial intelligence. Kat also loves Poochie, his small, adorable, fluffy white dog, who is funny and playful. But after an accident occurs in her uncle's lab, strange things begin to happen.

"Strange things have been happening in New York City. Mysterious ectoplasm has been oozing down walls, haunted figures are bursting out of locked rooms, and-- rumor has it --a supernatural superfan wreaked havoc at a recent rock concert!

In the mid-1950s, Kurt Vonnegut worked in the PR department at General Electric in Schenectady, where his older brother, Bernard, was a leading scientist in its research lab--or "House of Magic." Kurt has ambitions as a novelist, and Bernard is working on a series of cutting-edge weather-control experiments meant to make deserts bloom and farmers flourish. While Kurt writes zippy press releases, Bernard builds silver-iodide generators and attacks clouds with dry ice. His experiments attract the attention of the government. Weather proved a decisive factor in World War II, and if the military can control the clouds, fog, and snow, they can fly more bombing missions. Maybe weather will even be--as a headline in American Magazine calls it--"The New Super Weapon." But when the army takes charge of his cloudseeding project (dubbed Project Cirrus), Bernard begins to have misgivings about the use of his inventions for harm, not to mention the evidence that they are causing alarming changes in the atmosphere. This book chronicles the intersection of these brothers' lives at a time when the possibilities of science seemed infinite. As the Cold War looms, Bernard's struggle for integrity plays out in Kurt's evolving writing style. The Brothers Vonnegut reveals how science's ability to influence the natural world also influenced one of our most inventive novelists.
