Bookroo's summary

Frank Einstein, a young inventor, accidentally brings his robots, Klink and Klank, to life during a storm. These quirky companions help him with his experiments until his rival, T. Edison, steals them for a sinister plot. Can Frank outsmart Edison and save his creations? Dive into a world where science meets humor, and every experiment is an adventure. With real science facts and a dash of wacky humor, this tale will have young readers questioning how things work and inspire them to explore the wonders of science themselves.

From the publisher

Clever science experiments, funny jokes, and robot hijinks await readers in the first of six books in the New York Times 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 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!
