Frank Einstein is a kid genius who loves figuring out how the world
works by creating household contraptions that are part science, part
imagination, and definitely unusual. After an uneventful experiment in
his garage-lab, a lightning storm and flash of electricity bring Frank's
inventions--the robots Klink and Klank--to life! Not exactly the ideal
lab partners, the wisecracking Klink and the overly expressive Klank
nonetheless help Frank attempt to perfect his Dark Energy Drive . . .
until Frank's archnemesis, T. Edison, steals Klink and Klank for his
evil doomsday plan! Using real science and drawing inspiration from the
classic pulp stories of Tom Swift, Jon Scieszka has created a unique
world of adventure and science fiction--an irresistible chemical
reaction for middle-grade readers.
