Frank Einstein and the Antimatter Motor by Jon Scieszka illustrated by Brian Biggs

Frank Einstein loves science and living with his scientific grandfather while his parents travel.  He is determined to win the Midville Science Prize but his archenemy, T. Edison, utilizes his wealth and prestige to thwart the plans. Fortunately, Frank uses his intellect and observation skills to outwit his rival.
Full of scientific references and applications.

Matter notes in the back plus an experiment and humorous tidbits.
#1 in a new series Mr. Scieszka is creating.
Lexile: 730L

Strategy:  check for understanding (the book uses "flashback" structure plus lots of scientific references)
