Frank Einstein and the Evoblaster Belt (Frank Einstein #4): Book Four
Stealth Science
Why this book counts
- Life Science
- Engineering & Technology
- Story / Adventure
- Maker / Problem-Solving
Frank's competition over the EvoBlaster Belt turns species traits and evolution into the rules of a comic invention battle. The belt's instant transformations are intentionally impossible, but they give the story a reason to compare life forms and question how real evolution works.
The science inside
- Evolution & Adaptation
- Inventions
- Robotics & Coding
Your child will meet:
- Real biological evolution changes populations across generations rather than transforming one individual instantly.
- Inherited variation allows traits to differ within a population.
- An invention can dramatize a scientific idea without proving that its mechanism is possible.

The fourth 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 EvoBlaster Belt , Frank--along with his best friend, Watson, and Klink and Klank--once again finds himself in competition with his classmate and archrival T. Edison and his sign-language-speaking sidekick, Mr. Chimp, over Frank's newest invention: the EvoBlaster Belt, which allows the user to evolve and devolve into other forms of life, blasting from one species to another.
The Frank Einstein series encourages middle grade readers to question the way things work and to discover how they, too, can experiment with science. In a starred review, Kirkus raves, "This buoyant, tongue-in-cheek celebration of the impulse to 'keep asking questions and finding your own answers' fires on all cylinders," while Publishers Weekly says that the series "proves that science can be as fun as it is important and useful."
Perfect for ages 8-12 and fans of science fiction, this series combines real scientific facts with wacky humor and engaging storytelling. The series features real science facts with adventure and humor, making these books ideal for STEM education!
