Scieszka, Jon Frank Einstein and the Electro-Finger (Book#2), 165 pages. Amulet (Abrams), 2017.  $8.  Language: G (o swears); Mature Content: G; Violence: G.

Young inventor Frank Einstein and his two robots creations: Klink and Klank have new invention: The Electro-Finger. His nemesis The Chimp and a kid from Einstein’s School named T. Edison, have other plans, and they don’t involve coming up with their own ideas and often have to do with taking over. Luckily with friends like his robots and Watson, Einstein has a fighting chance.

As with the first book, we already had this book in my library and it saw a couple of checkouts only in the past few years (to some high level STEM students –who loved it!). While there is lots of science and fun with brainstorming inventions –it’s a bit overly long for how silly and goofy it is.  Not my favorite read but certainly interesting to science lovers.
