About this audiobook
Frank Einstein (A), kid genius scientist and inventor, along with Klink (B), a self-assembled artificial-intelligence entity, and Klank (C), a mostly self-assembled and artificial almost intelligence entity, create an Antimatter Motor using the three states of matter: solid (D), liquid (E), and gas (F), with plans to win the Midville Science Prize. Which all works fine, until Frank's classmate and archrival T. Edison shows up!
Frank Einstein loves figuring out how the world works by creating household contraptions that are part science, part imagination, and definitely unusual. After an uneventful experiment in his garage-lab, a lightning storm and 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 Antimatter Motor . . . until Frank's archnemesis, T. Edison, steals Klink and Klank for his evil doomsday plan! Using real science, Jon Scieszka has created a unique world of adventure and science fiction-an irresistible chemical reaction for middle-grade listeners.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Jon Scieszka is a humorous writer of children’s books, but this is the first of his middle grade books I’ve read. I really liked it - there was his trademark humor, lovable characters (except in the case of T. Edison, the enemy!), and an interesting storyline laden with science explained in understandable terms. I’m eager to read the second in the series, and excited that kids can read these books and be interested in reading as well as science!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Really funny!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5In his Grandpa Al's garage workshop, child genius Frank Einstein tries to invent a robot that can learn on its own, and after an accident brings wisecracking Klink and overly expressive Klank to life, they set about helping Frank perfect his Antimatter Motor until his archnemesis, T. Edison, steals the robots for his doomsday plan.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Frank Einstein is getting ready for the school science fair -- it's his only chance to win the big prize and save his grandpa's fix-it shop. Luckily, he is a genius and has a fabulous idea for a project: robots that have neurons like humans and can learn. He creates Klink and Klank - one a little goofier than the other - who help him to create an antimatter motor. What he doesn't know is that his arch enemy T. Edison has used his genius to find out what Edison is doing and has a plan to steal his project...The science might be a little over the heads of readers, and it's not quite as funny as you would expect from Jon Scieszka, but it's a fun story about problem solving and science.
