ALA Booklist

In the third book in the series, Frank is hard at work on an invention to help his friend Janegoodall succeed at pitching tryouts. Meanwhile, his rival, Edison, plots how to steal and use the BrainTurbo for evil purposes (cue diabolical laughter). A perfect page-by-page balance of nerdy science and zany humor will draw readers in and keep them moving. Tie to Gary Paulsen's Harris and Me (1993) and The Schernoff Discoveries (1997) and the Jack books from Jack Gantos to keep readers in stitches. Appended materials on systems within the body will be of particular interest to life-science teachers.

In his third book, genius Frank uses his big brain to secure his pal, Janegoodall, a spot on the baseball team by fine-tuning the human body. Complete with trusty robot sidekicks and an archrival, this joke-filled, slapstick story is interwoven with real science. Back matter extends the knowledge and includes puzzles and baseball tips. Three-color illustrations round out both the humor and science.

The third 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 BrainTurbo, Frank creates the BrainTurbo to power-boost the human body and help his baseball-pitching pal Janegoodall make the team. But when his overly expressive robot pal, Klank, goes missing, they must first rescue him and stop T. Edison—Frank’s classmate and archrival—from stealing their latest invention and using it against them!

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!
