Review
In book three of the series Frank Einstein, Scieska has Frank create the Brain Tjurbo to power boost the human body. This will help their baseball pitcher Jane Goodall make the team. But then Klank the robot goes missing they must find him and stop T. Edison from stealing the invention and using it against the world.
Besides being humorous and fun to read, the illustrations by Biggs enhance the humorous elements of the story. His gray, white and orange illustrations are casual and entertaining. Together these artists help encourage students to question how things work and how students can experiment with science.
Excellent for STEM tie in.
