Book Synopsis

The fifth book in the New York Times bestselling series that's full of funny jokes, clever science experiments, and robot hijinks. "I never thought science could be funny . . . until I read Frank Einstein. It will have kids laughing." --Jeff Kinney, Diary of a Wimpy Kid

In Frank Einstein and the Bio-Action Gizmo, Frank Einstein (kid genius, scientist, and inventor) and his best friend, Watson, pair up with Klink (a self-assembled artificial-intelligence entity) and Klank (a mostly self-assembled and artificial almost intelligence entity) to compete with T. Edison, their classmate and archrival. This time they're studying the science and mysteries of our very own home planet: Earth!

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 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."

Perfect for ages 8-12 and fans of science fiction, this series combines real scientific facts with wacky humor and engaging storytelling. The series features real science facts with adventure and humor, making these books ideal for STEM education!
