Review

This book has a 2014 Publication date and was a free uncorrected proof paperback.

In his Grandpa Al's garage workshop, child genius Frank Einstein tries to invent a robot that can learn on its own. After an accident brings wisecracking Klink and overly expressive Klank to life, they set about helping Frank perfect his Antimatter Motor until his enemy, T. Edison, steals the robots for his evil plan.

Readers will be amazed that they actually learn some science while reading this hilarious adventure. The plot and antics of Frank and his two robots will have readers in stitches. What else would you expect from expert story teller Jon Scieszka? The format is set up similar to the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series and will surely be a hit with young chapter book readers. A must for kids who ask, " What else do you have that's like Diary of a Wimpy Kid?"

Overall Book Score: very good
