Frank Einstein and the Antimatter Motor by Jon Scieszka - review

Jon Scieszka, Frank Einstein and the Antimatter Motor

Frank Einstein is about a boy who builds two self thinking robots and together they try to win a science competition against Frank's arch enemy, called Whatson.

A review on the back of the book says 'I never knew science could be so funny'. I agree that it is funny, but it looks serious next to my first book review (on Fintan Fedora).

The humour in it is where the bigger robot called Clank, tells jokes which the smaller robot called Clink, tries to work out logically and scientifically.
