Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
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 Einsteinnbsp;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.
