More clever science experiments, funny jokes, and robot hijinks await
readers in book five of the New York Times bestselling Frank Einstein
chapter book series from the mad scientist team of Jon Scieszka and
Brian Biggs. The perfect combination to engage and entertain readers,
the series features real science facts with adventure and humor, making
these books ideal for STEM education. This latest installment examines
the science and mysteries of planet Earth!
Kid-genius and inventor Frank Einstein loves figuring out how the world
works by creating household contraptions that are part science, part
imagination, and definitely unusual. In the series opener, an uneventful
experiment involving a lightning storm and a flash of electricity brings
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 inventions. In the
fifth book in the series, Frank--along with his best friend, Watson, and
Klink and Klank--once again finds himself in competition with his
classmate and archrival T. Edison and his sign-language-speaking
sidekick, Mr. Chimp, over Frank's newest invention: the Bio-Action
Gizmo.
Integrating real science facts with wacky humor, a silly cast of
characters, and science fiction, this uniquely engaging series is an
irresistible chemical reaction for middle-grade readers. The Frank
Einstein series encourages middle-grade listeners to question the way
things work and to discover how they, too, can experiment with science.
In a starred review, Kirkus Reviews raves, "This buoyant,
tongue-in-cheek celebration of the impulse to 'keep asking questions and
finding your own answers' fires on all cylinders," while Publishers
Weekly says that the series "proves that science can be as fun as it is
important and useful."
