Books
AstroNuts
Illustrated by Steven Weinberg
“AstroNuts doesn’t just break new ground -
it breaks outer space! Brilliant.”
Laugh-out-loud scientific action adventure, and a whole lot of fun. AstroWolf, LaserShark, SmartHawk, and StinkBug are super-powered NNASA (Not NASA) animals engineered to find a Goldilocks planet if Earth becomes too toxic for humans. Unique next-level illustrated storytelling for fans who started with Dog Man, Wimpy Kid, and The 13 Story Treehouse books.
Trucktown
Illustrated by David Shannon, Loren Long and David Gordon
“The combination of high-energy artwork and exuberant characters are sure to make the Trucktown series a purchase for every garage library.”
A junkyard action-packed world of boy trucks and girl trucks who act just like rambunctious kindergarteners (maybe because author Scieszka based them all on real kindergarteners). A series of 4 picture books, 10 early readers, and a construction site full of activity books designed to rev up preschool readers. Lovingly detailed by the amazing illustration garage of Shannon, Long, and Gordon.
Frank Einstein
Illustrated by Brian Biggs
“I never thought science could be funny . . . until I read Frank Einstein. It will have kids laughing.”
Clever science experiments, funny jokes, and robot hijinks await readers 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.
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.
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.
Time Warp Trio
Illustrated by Lane Smith and Adam McCauley
“The author is intent on producing books that are an antidote to the dusty titles that populate summer reading lists.”
What do you think would happen if three good friends, Joe, Sam, and Fred got their hands on a Book that allowed them to travel through history? And what if their travels were told in short funny illustrated cliff-hanger chapters that inspired beginning readers to want to keep reading? The Time Warp Trio, that’s what.
Spaceheadz
Illustrated by Shane Prigmore
“Science-fiction fans with a taste for off-the-wall humor will be eager to join the SPHDZ movement.”
The perfect combination of the age old experience of holding and pouring over a physical book with newest media technology that kids love!
Michael K. just started fifth grade at a new school. As if that wasn't hard enough, the kids he seems to have made friends with apparently aren't kids at all. They are aliens. Real aliens who have invaded our planet in the form of school children and a hamster. They have a mission to complete: to convince 3,140,001 kids to BE SPHDZ.
