"I never thought science could be funny . . . until I read Frank
Einstein. It will have kids laughing." Jeff Kinney, Diary of a
Wimpy Kid "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 Clever science experiments, funny
jokes, and robot hijinks await readers in the first of six books in
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 first installment examines the
science of "matter." 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.. . . until Frank's archnemesis, T. Edison, steals Klink
and Klank for his evil doomsday plan! 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." Read all the books in
the New York Times bestselling Frank Einstein series: Frank
Einstein and the Antimatter Motor (Book 1), Frank Einstein and the
Electro-Finger (Book 2), Frank Einstein and the BrainTurbo (Book

final analysis, this buoyant, tongue-in-cheek celebration of the
impulse to 'keep asking questions and finding your own answers'
fires on all cylinders." --Booklist, starred review "Scieszka mixes
science and silliness again to great effect." Kirkus Reviews "In
refusing to take itself too seriously, it proves that science can
be as fun as it is important and useful." Publishers Weekly "With
humor, straightforward writing, tons of illustrations, and a touch
of action at the end, this book is accessible and easy to read,
making it an appealing choice for reluctant readers. A solid start
to the series." --School Library Journal "Kids will love Frank
Einstein because even though he is a new character he will be
instantly recognizable to the readers...Jon Scieszka is one of the
best writers around, and I can't wait to see what he does with
these fun and exciting characters." Eoin Colfer, Artemis Fowl "Jon
Scieszka's new series has the winning ingredients that link his
clever brilliance in story telling with his knowledge of real
science, while at the same time the content combination of fiction
and non fiction appeals to the full range of the market." Jack
Gantos, Dead End in Norvelt
