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.”

Frank Einstein is a kid inventor who attempted to make two robots but then a chain reaction occurred and the robots came to life. He befriended them. The robots were named Clink and Clank. Clink looked like a vacuum. Clank looked like a trashcan with arms, leg, and a head. A kid named Edison steals Frank's idea for the science fair so he could save his grandfather's shop from being sold. After infiltrating the house of Edison, they tried to find out where Clink and Clank were because they had been kidnapped. The invention that Clink entered into the science fair was anti-matter and matter fueled power bike. The power was fueld by one drop of anti-water and regular water, that created enough power to fuiel the bike.
This book was really scientific... I mean science is really amazing... without it I'm pretty sure our world will fall apart it without science... Meet Frank Einstein who of course is a genius! So Frank Einstein lives with his grandpa... who might lose the store due to financial needs... So Frank Einstein had this genius idea if he wins the Science Fair... he can use the money to help out his Grandpa... The only problem is... what should he do? With his imaginative mind... he creates two robots, Klink and Klank.... where they... DRUM ROLLS PLEASE!!!! They come alive! It's another Frankenstein,,, get it because of his name :P... But once Frank Einstein's enemy comes around... Uh oh!!!! What's going on? Who wins the Science Fair???? Will Grandpa's store be saved? Well read and find out! I really loved how this book was imaginative, quirky, and funny... yet informative... this book has also amazing illustrations and diagrams that goes right along the story! Enjoy!!!
This book is pretty cliche. The names of the characters are references to famous historic and literary figures. The plot is fairly standard for the kids' science fiction genre. There are hints of Star Trek: The Next Generation as well. This is an okay book for those lazy, boredom-filled, summer moments.
This is not that fun. It tells about a kid named Frank and he makes a lot of science/imagination objects. But one day, lightning hits his robots, and the robots come to life. But, that is almost 90% of the real Frankenstein!
Frank Einstein and the Antimatter Motor is about a kid genius named Frank Einstein. In this book he creates two robots to help him with his Antimatter motor to enter in to a science fair.He enters the fair because his grandpa shop is about to close down and if he wins he can get the money to keep his shop open. then his archenemy T. Edison, comes and start messing everything up. Also I love how this book is humorous and the illustrations are great.
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?
WOW! When i saw this book I was so happy! I like robotics and any type of technology and then I see this book!!!!???!!!!! please, I am looking toward this book so much, and if I don't I will be deeply disappointed. : (
Frank Einstein is an inventor, but not just ANY inventor, a GENIUS inventor, and this year, his science fair project will be the greatest thing ever to exist: an Antimatter Motor! With help of course, from his newly invented self assembled artificial intelligence entities. All is going well until Frank Einstein's archrival shows up!
A good book. I won this book on IDOGO, and I recommend it. It includes many funny references to scientists and includes robots and a young scientist.
