<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Frank Einstein (kid-genius scientist and inventor) and his best friend, Watson, along with intelligent robots Klink and Klank once again find themselves in competition with T. Edison, their classmate and archrival--this time in the quest to unlock the power behind the science of energy"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><br> "Huge laughs and great science--the kind of smart, funny stuff that makes Jon Scieszka a legend." <br> --Mac Barnett, author of<i> Battle Bunny</i> and <i>The Terrible Two</i> <p/><p>More clever science experiments, funny jokes, and robot hijinks await readers in book two of the <i>New York Times</i> 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."</p><p>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!</p><p>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, <i>Kirkus Reviews</i> raves, "This buoyant, tongue-in-cheek celebration of the impulse to 'keep asking questions and finding your own answers' fires on all cylinders," while <i>Publishers Weekly</i> says that the series "proves that science can be as fun as it is important and useful."</p>Read all the books in the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling Frank Einstein series: <i>Frank Einstein and the Antimatter Motor</i> (Book 1), <i>Frank Einstein and the Electro-Finger</i> (Book 2), <i>Frank Einstein and the BrainTurbo</i> (Book 3), and <i>Frank Einstein and the EvoBlaster Belt</i> (Book 4).
