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.”

I personally love comical humor and sciency, nerdy humor that is transformed into a funny tale, and multiple personalities. Am definitely keeping an eye out for this one. ^ ^
I liked that it had robots and that it had science and geometry. Frank Einstein was very smart and he found his robots when they got lost and did the right this to save them. The villan wasn't really dangerous, he was just mean and annoying and I didn't really like him.
To all the humorous robot fans, please read this! It is one of best books I have read in my entire life! The characters have to win a contest and save their friend's lives. I really like the robots and the animals. They complete the story!
This was a GREAT book 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁(I'm glad it was it was a good book because it took 20 minutes do find it in the library) 😂 😂 😂 😂 this book is about frank Einstein and his friend klank and they make a antimatter moter using simple things like solid and liquid and gas.😝 😝 😝 😝 it's a really good book I highly recommend this book for any age!😏 😍 💩 😘 😝 🎀 🎉 💜 I rate it 5/5🌟
This is about a boy who is a scientist and creates robots. He lives with his grandpa and the robots helps him, but this kid tries to steal his technology.
Frank is a creator and inventor. One day an experiment goes wrong and his robot comes to life. Frank needs to find a way to fix his problem and surprise everyone! This book is definitely humorous and imaginative. I felt like I was a scientist reading along. In the end Frank is able to work around his bully and fix everything. This book is great for middle school readers and science fanatics. I enjoyed reading and learning some new terns too!
Frank Einstein and the Antimatter Motor wasn't that great of a book. The plot was predictable, and you knew what was going to happen next, even if you didn't know exactly how. I think that nobody would like this book. For teenagers and above this book would be boring. For younger kids, I think they would have a hard time following the story. It is very complex, and has many technical terms. Of course, some people who really enjoy robotics and other science topics, they may like this book. It is about young Frank Einstein, who builds two self-learning robots for his local science fair, to win the money to save his grandpa's shop. But then his rival shows up-and things start going on. Will Frank win? Will he save his grandpa's shop? What will happen next?
i think that this book is oene of the bests of all the books at the story of world
this book is one of bests ones at world i recomed it because it is intresting funny and suspencive i like this book because of the robots klink and klank o i almost forot it t edison i dont lide this guy .But like i said read this book is cool
