Phil

Phil is a friend of Franny K. Stein who appears in The Invisible Fran, the third book in the Franny K. Stein book series.

Personality
Phil is fond of postage stamps.

History
Phil showed off a book of his favorite stamps on Hobby Day. When Franny asked about stamps that explode when you lick them or turn the mailman into a scorpion monster, Miss Shelly had to clarify that Phil only likes normal stamps that don't do anything like that.

Franny then decided to get Phil, Lawrence and Erin interested in working on her robot by turning herself invisible and whispering instructions to them so that they'd think working on the robot was their own idea.

Unfortunately, the three kids decided to make modifications to the robot when Franny wasn't present to guide them, which resulted in the robot becoming a destructive idiot who starts to vandalize the school.

When Franny's own attempts at defeating the robot fell flat, she realized that her friends' hobbies had their uses and ordered Erin, Lawrence and Phil to put their skills to good use in order to bring down the robot. Phil did his part by covering the robot's eyes with postage stamps in order to blind it.
