New York Times Bestseller
"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 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.”
