Benjamin Franklinstein Lives! by Matthew McElligott and Larry Tuxbury
While working on a science fair project, a Philadelphia school boy discovers both a secret laboratory in his basement and Benjamin Franklin, who comes to life after receiving a jolt of electricity.
I'm not a huge Science Fiction fan, but this book was very creative. I liked the drawings and diagrams of real inventions in it. I really liked the quote from this Ben Franklin, "Never confuse motion with action." **
I never really liked science books but this one was kind of funny. And it had fiction and non-fiction parts. I wonder if a human could really live on battery-that would be cool if it could. I'd like to make a big volcano like Victor's and a potato battery like Scott's.
i liked the part when begermen franklen came to life.***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
I like this book but to really get it you have to read the prologue.And my favorite part of this book is when benjamin franklin ate the potato (science project).
i really like this book because it was kind of a mystery and the same time funny. my favorite part was the prologue because it really just explains the whole book so you could get it more.***
I thought that this was kind of interesting to me.But some how the picture of the book seemed kind of weird,and creepy. But it was awesome to me. During the reading it was maybe funny just a tiny bit.But anyway the book itself was very good and with a bit of some science.
i like this book because it has famous people in it and a i liked how they mad Benjermin Franklen the monster pluse i like victors science fair project****
I really did not enjoy this book. I am not really in to science fiction. but, i thought it was very interesting when Victor found out that Benjamin Franklin lived in his house! I give it ** stars.
