More clever science experiments, funny jokes, and robot hijinks await
readers in book four 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 all connected
life.
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 fourth 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 EvoBlaster Belt, which allows the user to evolve and
devolve into other forms of life, blasting from one species to
another.
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.
