Max Einstein: The Genius Experiment

Book Synopsis

Builds inventions that help the homeless
And talks to Albert Einstein

All normal stuff, right?

But that’s only if the sinister outfit known as The Corporation doesn’t get to her first…

Our Review Panel says...

The Genius Experiment is bursting at the spine with scientific trivia in the form of facts, theories and outside-the-box thinking. Einstein’s relativity and Newton’s motion are thematic to the story.

Throughout the book are sketches of Max’s notebook drawings, which depict her ideas and innovations. I would recommend this book for Year 5 and 6 readers.

It is refreshing to see a young female scientist as the main character, whose adventures could just inspire the next generation of budding scientists…
