"Huge laughs and great science--the kind of smart, funny stuff that
makes Jon Scieszka a legend."
--Mac Barnett, author of Battle Bunny and The Terrible Two
"I never thought science could be funny . . . until I read Frank
Einstein. It will have kids laughing."
--Jeff Kinney, Diary of a Wimpy Kid
More clever science experiments, funny jokes, and robot hijinks await
readers in book three 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 quest to unlock the power behind the science of "the human body."
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 in his garage-lab, a lightning storm, and a 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
inventions. In the third book in the series, Frank creates the
BrainTurbo to power-boost the human body and help his baseball-pitching
pal Janegoodall make the team. But when Klank goes missing, they must
first rescue their robot pal and stop T. Edison--Frank's classmate and
archrival--from stealing their latest invention and using it against
them!
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. With
easy-to-read language and graphic illustrations on almost every page,
this chapter book series is a must for reluctant readers. The Frank
Einstein series encourages middle-grade readers 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."
