"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 More clever science experiments, funny jokes,
and robot hijinks await readers in book two 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 second installment examines the
quest to unlock the power behind the science of "energy."
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 second book in
the series, Frank is working on a revamped version of one of Nikola
Tesla's inventions, the "Electro-Finger," a device that can tap
into energy anywhere and allow all of Midville to live off the
grid, with free wireless and solar energy. But this puts Frank in
direct conflict with Edison's quest to control all the power and
light in Midville, monopolize its energy resources, and get "rich
rich rich." Time is running out, and only Frank, Watson, Klink, and
Klank can stop Edison and his sentient ape, Mr. Chimp! 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
3), and Frank Einstein and the EvoBlaster Belt (Book 4). Visit
