"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
3), and Frank Einstein and the EvoBlaster Belt (Book 4). Visit

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
Science fiction meets science fact! Frank Einstein (kid genius,
scientist, and inventor) and his best friend, Watson, team up with
Klink (a self-assembled artificial intelligence entity) to create
the BrainTurbo to power-boost the human body and help their
baseball-pitching pal Janegoodall make the team. But when Klank (a
mostly self-assembled and artificial almost intelligence entity)
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!
Alvin Bixby: Hulking, knuckles of steel, hideous breath, foul
temper. Kids call him: Bubba.
Nolan Byrd: Puny, power walker, math genius, can't keep shoes tied.
Kids call him: Nerd.
Bubba has been the bane of Nolan's existence for five long years.
So when Mr. Green asks the class to become reporters, Nolan decides
he'll write an expose--on Bubba. He doesn't want to sign his name
to it (that'd be suicidal), so Nolan creates a secret identity for
himself--on the Internet. He launches Shredderman.com as a place
where truth and justice prevail--and bullies get what's coming to
them.
This hilariously triumphant story is for any kid who's ever dreamed
of unleashing their own inner superhero!
"From the Hardcover edition."
In the fourth book in the New York Times bestselling Frank Einstein
series, kid genius, scientist, and inventor Frank Einstein, along
with his best friend, Watson, team up with robots Klink and Klank
to compete with T. Edison. This time, they go on a quest to unlock
the power behind the science of life with Frank's newest invention
the EvoBelt which allows the user to evolve (and devolve) into
other life forms, blasting from one species to another.
Can EllRay master the moves in time to win his friend back?
EllRay Jakes may be the shortest kid in his class, and he may get
into trouble from time to time, but he can always count on his best
friends Kevin and Corey. But lately, Kevin has been skateboarding
with the meanest boy in class. Could EllRay be losing one of his
friends?
Not giving up without a fight, EllRay asks his older neighbor to
show him a few jaw-dropping skateboard moves--like ollies and
kickflips. EllRay must learn as many tricks as he can before the
secret boys-only third grade skate-off. But will it be enough?
In the New Bohemians, LA-based designer Justina Blakeney defines
the New Bohemians as creative individuals who are boutique owners
and bloggers, entrepreneurs and ex-pats, artists and urban farmers.
They embrace free-spirited, no-rules lifestyles and apply that
attitude to all areas of their existence, including their homes.
With little distinction between work and play, the new boho home
often includes an office, art gallery, showroom, photography
studio, restaurant, or even a pop-up shop. The New Bohemians
explores 20 homes located primarily on the East and West coasts.
Exclusive interviews with the owners, as well as 12 DIY projects
created by Blakeney and inspired by objects found in the homes,
offer insight into achieving this aesthetic. In addition, each home
is accompanied by an Adopt-an-Idea section that offers general
decor, styling and shopping tips for easy duplication in your own
home.
Small kid. Big Stage.
Does EllRay have a talent to put on show for the entire school?
When EllRay and his friends hear about the school talent show,
they're not impressed. They're too old for that stuff. But their
teacher, Mrs. Sanchez, isn't so quick to let her students off the
hook. Five students absolutely must try-out, and EllRay somehow
ends up being one of them. Now he has to figure out something he's
talented at....like, maybe magic?
But now the pressure's on. It's up to EllRay to take the stage and
show his classmates and the whole school that he's not only
talented but magic.

I'm a T. rex.""
In this brand-new Little Golden Book, a T. rex tells all about his
great and terrible self. Facts about the T. rex are humorously
presented: "Does the T stand for toothy? Does the T stand for tall?
Does the T stand for terrible? I am known as them all!"
The ending reveals a surprise: the T. rex is still a baby in a
nest, watched over lovingly by his "great BIG MAMA T. rex!"
This Little Golden Book is illustrated by Brian Biggs, one of
today's most in-demand illustrators. He brings to life the popular
Shredderman books by Wendelin Van Draanen.

"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

To bake a universe, you'll need a heaping pile of nothing. That's
right, not a single thing! Just make sure you have enough... In How
to Bake a Universe, Alec Carvlin breaks down the Big Bang into the
steps of a recipe, from the formation of quarks and atoms (preheat
your oven to Absolute Hot) to the compression of gases into stars
and planets (just set your timer for 180 million years). Carvlin
expertly balances mind-boggling facts with snappy storytelling, and
Brian Biggs's bold and contagiously cheerful illustrations bring
the infinite down to the bite-sized. How to Bake a Universe is an
accessible and playful authority on the formation of the universe
and a heartfelt commentary on how to live in it.
