In the fifth book of the New York Times bestselling Frank Einstein series, Frank Einstein (kid genius, scientist, and inventor) and his best friend, Watson, pair up with Klink (a self-assembled artificial-intelligence entity) and Klank (a mostly self-assembled and artificial almost intelligence entity) to compete with T. Edison, their classmate and archrival. This time they're studying the science and mysteries of our very own home planet: Earth!

New York Times Bestseller "I never thought science could be funny . . . until I read Frank Einstein. It will have kids laughing." Jeff Kinney, Diary of a Wimpy Kid "Huge laughs and great sciencethe kind of smart, funny stuff that makes Jon Scieszka a legend." Mac Barnett, author ofBattle Bunny and The Terrible Two 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 Franks inventionsthe robots Klink and Klankto life! Not exactly the ideal lab partners, the wisecracking Klink and the overly expressive Klank nonetheless help Frank attempt to perfect his inventions.. . . until Franks archnemesis, T. Edison, steals Klink and Klank for his evil doomsday plan! Integrating real science facts with wacky humor, a silly cast of characters, and science fiction, this uniquely engaging series is an irresistible chemical reaction for middle-grade readers. With easy-to-read language and graphic illustrations on almost every page, this chapter book series is a must for reluctant readers. The Frank Einstein series encourages middle-grade readers to question the way things work and to discover how they, too, can experiment with science.

"Me tendieron una trampa", ha declarado el lobo Silvestre en exclusiva al Diario Lobo. En este escandaloso libro por fin se va a saber la verdad. a prensa se lo inventó todo, porque en realidad los tres cerditos son unos maleducados, y el lobo Silvestre solo quería azúcar para hacer un pastel a su abuelita. este álbum de 1989 constituye una de las primeras revisiones de un cuento infantil realizada con conciencia narrativa y mediante una fuerte propuesta visual perpetrada por dos autores notoriamente gamberros.

"Em van posar un parany", ha declarat el llop Silvestre en exclusiva al Diari Llop. En aquest escandalós llibre per fi se sabrà tota la veritat. De 5-8 anys.

The campaign is going well. The SPHDZ word is getting out. 1000s of kids have signed up to say they are SPHDZ. But things havent gotten any easier for Michael K. The SPHDZ are still trying to blend in to our Earth culture, but not very successfully. Theyre still mixing up Thanksgiving, cartoon plots, holidays, and commercials. This makes it especially hard for Michael K. to both hide the SPHDZ from Agent Umber and accomplish the SPHDZ Mission. Hes forced to enlist the help of fellow fifth graders, Venus and TJ.

A star-studded anthology with a devilish hook, whose proceeds benefit 826nyc: the fabulous literacy non-profit founded by Dave Eggers. Can you imagine the most cantankerous book editor alive? Part Voldemort, part Cruella de Vil (if she were a dude), and worse in appearance and odor than a gluttonous farm pig? A man who makes no secret of his love of cheese or his disdain of unworthy authors? That man is Herman Mildew. The anthology opens with an invitation to a party, care of this insufferable monster, where more than 80 of the most talented, bestselling and recognizable names in YA and childrens fiction learn that they are suspects in his murder. All must provide alibis in brief first-person entries. The problem is that all of them are liars, all of them are fabulists, and all have something to hide...

Michael K. just started fifth grade at a new school. As if that wasnt hard enough, the kids he seems to have made friends with apparently arent kids at all. They are aliens.

But with a hamster as their leader, "kids" who talk like walking advertisements, and Michael K. as their first convert, will the SPHDZ be able to keep their cover and pull off their assignment? Several websites mentioned in the book will be livegiving readers a full interactive experience.
