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!

"Scieszka's third joke-filled Frank Einstein adventure jam-packed with sneaky science lessons is perfect for young scientists who may prefer fact to fiction. Biggs' ample tricolor (orange, black, and white in this outing) illustrations extend both the story and the science. Aftermatter broadens the fun with additional science facts, puzzles, and even baseball tips. Halfway through the series, the science and the sly (and slapstick) laughs are still going strong."Kirkus
