Max Einstein #1
The Genius Experiment
Albert Einstein + James Patterson = A Must Read!
The world's #1 bestselling author has teamed up with the world's most famous genius to entertain, educate and inspire a generation of kids – with the first and only kids' book series officially approved by the Albert Einstein Archives.
Twelve-year-old orphan Max Einstein (like Albert Einstein himself) is not your typical genius.

Her not-so-normal life is crazy but predictable until...
Max is recruited by a mysterious organization! Their mission: solve some of the world's toughest problems using science. She's helped by a diverse group of young geniuses from around the globe as they invent new ways to power the farthest reaches of the planet. But that's only if the sinister outfit known only as The Corporation doesn't get to her first...
Max Einstein is a heroine for the modern age and will be looked up to by readers for generations to come.

I started reading Max Einstein: The Genius Experiment on 9/22/2018 and finished it on 10/1/2018 at 1:40am. This book is a fantastic read! I really like how smart Max is and how quickly she deals with pressuring problems. Max’s schooling situation is pretty interesting and I like her motivation for learning and doing. Quoting Albert Einstein is actually pretty cool. I like the idea of child prodigies and secret missions. Adding bad guys into the story makes the read thrilling. I like how this book promotes teamwork and problem solving for readers to follow.
This book is told in the third person point of view following Maxine (Max) Einstein, 12 years old, child prodigy, as she was woken up by the smell of horse manure to a good idea. She raced over to Mr. Kennedy at 6am to share with him her ah ha moment. Max, Mr. Kennedy, and many others are homeless squatting above a horse stable in New York. Max comes up with an idea to keep warm for the coming winter because they are living rent-free on a vacant floor with no heat. The problem to her idea is that it costs a lot of money to make it happen and money is what they don’t have. Max, who never knew her parents looks up to Albert Einstein, the famous scientist like a hero. Another third person point of view is Phillip Stark and Dr. Zimm, guys at the Corp hunting down Max. The Corp compete with another group called CMI. Max has been monitored and wanted by both groups. They both work under the radar and leave very little trails behind. They both have big plans for Max.
Max Einstein: The Genius Experiment is very well written. This book has the sad aspects of family and living conditions but it also has the bright side with good friendships and oversea experiences. Actions and adventures are a plus. This book is fiction but it has the feel of a nonfiction though it still reads quick like a fiction. I like that because readers are being reminded about Newton’s law of motion and Albert Einstein’s idea on photoelectrons without feeling the heavy reading of a science textbooks. I love the diversity in this book. I like that this book ends without a cliffhanger even though readers are to expect book 2 to come. This book is an excellent read for all and I highly recommend everyone to read it!
Pro: fast paced, page turner, humor, easy to read, actions and adventures, illustrations, Albert Einstein, teamwork,
Con: none
I rate it 5 stars!

This came so incredibly close to being not only a good book, but a great book. But I had to ask myself, “Would I be comfortable giving this book to a young person?” The answer was no.
The stereotypes were subtle, which was what made them dangerous:
Grown-ups, or “growns”, are all superfluous.
Genius kids don’t like to play or tell stories.
Bad guys dressed in black and they’re big and dangerous looking so you can easily tell them from the people you can trust.
Corporations are evil, and making a profit is inherently an indication that a company abuses humans and the environment.
It is sad that these messages are in there, because the plot is interesting and the writing is good.

Good start to a series. Max is joined with other genius teens and they set about solving some pretty tough world problems - energy, water, etc.
There is plenty of action and adventure along with a smattering of science tossed in.
A quick read that will appeal to many students.

It is a given that any book by James Patterson and Chris Grabenstein will be a hit and Max Einstein: The Genius Experiment deserves all the accolades that it will receive! It is extremely well-written and researched, and takes the popular concept of a kid being “the chosen one” in a unique direction, as the “chosen kids” are all geniuses (knowledge is their superpower) and they tackle real-world problems with real science. The Albert Einstein quotes and scientific information woven into the story strengthen Max Einstein’s character and are both interesting and informative. While I felt that there were a few aspects of the story that seemed unrealistic, my twelve-year-old son thought they were some of the best parts. There are hints of bigger mysteries and conflicts in the book, such as Max Einstein’s unknown background, that set this book up well to be a multi-book series. A few unexpected twists in the story made it even more fun. This book hooked me from the beginning and kept up the intriguing storyline that combines mystery, suspense, science, humanitarian issues, problem-solving, and friendship. This is one of the best books I’ve read recently and I can’t wait to read the next one!
(I wonder if the authors have even outlined the next book yet?!)

Great book, especially for kids who like science!!

James Patterson has a rare gift. While some authors are able to write across genres, one or two, and a few authors can write both adult and YA books, there are only a couple who can write across both Genres and age groups. And Patterson is the best of those writers. Max Einstein is just an example of this ability which combines humanitarianism, with technology, and the natural sciences.
Great female protagonist!
Max Einstein is twelve years old and has already figured out how to create a background that has let her enter the University of New York. However, she has no idea who she is or from where she hails. Suddenly, her world is upset by two goons from Social Services (or so she believes.) They take her to a group home, where she begins planning another escape. But before she can make her move, an acquaintance from the streets arrives with two adults who say she must run, as a shadow corporation is on its way to snatch her. Not only that but they tell her she is urgently needed in Jerusalem. She has only minutes to make a decision and the only one she can turn to is her hero Albert Einstein. What would he say or do...
Suddenly she is on a private plane headed for Israel, with a secret benefactor covering her expenses and tests, determining who will lead a philanthropic cabal to cure some of the worlds most difficult problems... Is Max the One? And if chosen, does she have what it takes to handle her first mission?
This book grabbed me within the first few pages and hung on tight until I finished the final page. It creates a world I would love to see my grandkids grabbing onto and give them meaning for the future. And if you ever wondered about Albert Einstein, Patterson begins to open up a look at this genius of a man and see how he can inspire anyone with just a little "imagination."
Can't wait for the sequel!

Disappointing. With a cool premise and big names attached, I expected more than a connect-the-dots plot with cardboard characters and bland writing (teachers will faint at the ubiquitous sentence fragments. Used for no good reason. Other than to break up long sentences, which is also a frequent problem especially when you're trying to read it aloud and you have to pause to breathe). Even the Einstein quotes feel shoehorned in, as if one is required every 7.5 pages.
"Exotic" locales carry the whiff of Eurocentrism, and mysterious international organizations (This one's greedy! This one's good!) come off as confusing and dull. And don't get me started on the long, meticulously detailed struggle to bring electricity via solar panels and wind turbines to a small African village in the Congo, where only two people in the whole village have names and the rest are victims of machine-gun-wielding warlords and child-labor-friendly mine owners. Ugh.

I received a free copy of "Max Einstein, The Genius Experiment" by James Patterson and Chris Grabenstein, through the "Good Read's Giveawy."
An adult may find this story is a bit predictable, although all books by Patterson are fun to read.
This is meant for a younger audience but educates the reader about Albert Einstein's life and many achievements.
I hope as the author suggests, that the book will stimulate both boys and girl's interest in science and technology. After all, the future belongs to the young.

To, co najbardziej urzekło mnie w „Max Einstein” to właśnie tytułowa bohaterka. Zauroczyła mnie swoim genialnym umysłem, wyobraźnią i niezwykłym altruizmem. Uważam, że była to naprawdę wartościowa pozycja jeśli chodzi o literaturę dziecięcą; przedstawiała podstawowe zagadnienia z fizyki w bardzo przystępny sposób, miała w sobie mnóstwo humoru i świetnie wykreowanych bohaterów.

This was a Goodreads Giveaway and I would like to thank JIMMY Patterson Books and Little, Brown and Company for giving me the opportunity to read an advance copy of it. I’ve always been a big James Patterson fan, and this was the first of his Young Adult books I’ve had the pleasure of reading, so I was happy for the chance to read it. I have no idea who Chris Grabenstein is or how much of the story is his doing as a co-author, but I can honestly say the book was terrific. Max Einstein is both brilliant and humble, which is definitely a winning combination with this young lady, and in this book she sets off on the first of what I imagine will be many adventures to better the world. There are good guys (and girls) and bad guys and, most importantly, there are a host of brilliant children, each with his or her own colorful personality. This book should be a must read for all children who are middle school and above, perhaps even younger. It just might motivate some of them to go out and save the world.

I had to look up how solar panels worked 😂
Again, this book evolves around kid geniuses. If this organization was a real thing, the Lord knows I will NOT be one of the kids chosen 😑😐

I received an advanced reading copy of this book.
Max Einstein is the first book to be endorsed by the Albert Einstein Foundation and I can see why. Young Max lives her life according to the philosophy and science of Albert Einstein. There are many quotations throughout the book. In fact, I learnt a lot about Einstein that I did not know before.
This is a great start to a new kids series about Max Einstein and her team of other young geniuses. They all complete for the chance to represent the world and help solve current crisis like water issues, electricity, poverty etc. Backed by a mysterious benefactor and racing against an opposing evil team, this group of kids show us what can be done with persistance and team work.
It was a fun read with lots of science & stuff that kids will enjoy. Action, adventure, working together to solve problems and plenty of fun. Max is a character that kids will love and I think that they will become invested in her and what her team are trying to achieve, without realising that they are learning at the same time.
Great for 9+ kids with an interest in science. For fans of Bab Sharkey and Friday Barnes

Max Einstein is about a girl named Max who is pretty much a child genius. She's going to college and is purposely barely passing in order to not look suspicious. Her role model is the one and only Albert Einstein, and she wants to follow in his footsteps. However, her life gets turned upside down when a mysterious organization wants to recruit her to solve the world's problems with science. As she competes, she realizes that another organization is on her heels and doesn't want her to succeed. Will Max succeed? I really liked this book because there was a lot of action throughout the book and I also learned a lot of new things. I also have more of an interest in science now. I would recommend this book for people that want a fun, exciting, and a little nerdy book.

I picked up an advance copy at the ALA convention from the publisher. To be honest, I’ve never read anything by James Patterson except for his Read, Kiddo, Read website. In this story, Max is a homeless kid in NYC who is selected for a challenge involving child geniuses around the world. The winner is supposed to help make the world better. The book has a lot of interesting settings (Jerusalem, the DRC), there’s plenty of action, and it tackles some complex science. I enjoyed the book, I thought the pace was good, but I’m curious about the intended audience. I plan on sharing it with my niece and getting her input (she’s going into 6th grade).

Knižku som prvý krát dostala v škole na konci štvrtého ročníka. Naozaj skvelá kniha ktorá je vhodná pre mládež. Ja ju hodnotím na SUPÉÉÉÉR 😁.

początek był fajny, ale im dalej tym nudniej. mocno dziecinna i zbyt nierealna

4⭐️/5
Wciągająca książka od samego początku aż do końca. Uwielbiam główną bohaterkę i jej świetne pomysły. Chociaż jest to literatura dziecięca to ma ciekawy klimat i jest dobrze napisana. Podobają mi te rysunki na złotym tle, wnoszą jeszcze więcej do historii. Kocham te wstawki z matematyką i fizyką. Do zakończenia jestem neutralnie nastawiona, czekam na 2 tom.

I have to say upfront is that I won this paperback edition in a contest on Goodreads. Who she is and where she comes from is a mystery to her. Max Einstein is homeless and wanted by a world organization because she is incredibly smart. Max is happy her name is the same as her favorite person, Albert Einstein. Max often has conversations in her head with Albert, and hopefully, the answer will come to her when she is trying to decide on a problem. I enjoyed the adventures Max goes on staying one step ahead of the bad guys. While this is not my typical genre, I did enjoy the change immensely.

Max Einstein is a twelve-year-old homeless orphan who is also a genius and Albert Einstein's number one fan. When a shadowy corporation try to kidnap her for sinister ends, Max manages to escape with the help of a mysterious benefactor and finds herself in competition with some of the brightest young minds from across the world for an exciting opportunity. A great new STEM-orientated role model for kids.

Max Einstein -Experiment de geniu vol 1 (extraordinar de bună cartea)
O carte ce vă îndemn să o citiți alături de copiii dumneavoastră, o carte din care am avut și eu de învățat, o carte ce mi-a ajuns la suflet și în minte.
🔎"Pisica lui Schrodinger "-experiment de gândire dezvoltat într-o serie de scrisori dintre Einstein și fizicianul austriac Erwin Schrondinger.
🔎"Domnul Isaac Newton, bunicul fizicii moderne, a descoperit legile mișcării, inclusiv pe aceea care spune că un corp nemiscat are tentinda de a nu se misca-chiar și atunci când se află intr-un tren care accelerează.
🔎A doua lege a accelerației lui Newton spunea că rata accelerației ar depinde de masa obiectelor aflate în mișcare. Cu cât obiectele sunt mai grele, cu atât ar avea o viteză mai mică decât obiectele mai usoare.
🔎Filosoful anric grec Socrate își învață discipolii:punând întrebări și răspunzând la ele.
🔎E=mc², înseamnă că energia unui obiect este egală cu masa-cantitatea de materie pe care o are -înmulțit cu viteza la pătrat.
Viteza luminii=299782 km/secundă
🔎Prototipul unui avion cu "aripi Einstein "(mentioant mai jos )
🔎Mentionat " dezvoltarea umană adusa de Aristotel și silogismele lui"
🔎Activismul în drepturile omului a lui Albert Einstein. La pacifismul său, chiar dacă teoriile sale au fost folosite pentru a ajuta la dezvoltarea bombei atomice care a pus capăt celui de-al Doilea Război Mondial.
🔎 Legea efectului fotoelectric..înseamnă un premiu mai de preț decât însuși Nobelul primit în 1921.(adică folosirea principiului)..La 16 ani după ce am dezvoltat efectul fotoelectric în 1905. Câteodată trebuie să avem răbdare și să așteptăm ca lumea să ne ajungă din urmă.
🔎A treia lege a mișcării a lui Newton spune că pentru fiecare acțiune există o reacție egală și opusă.
Spoiler alert!
În New York, o fetiță orfană de 12 ani, pe nume Maxine Einstein, se adăpostește la etajul unui grajd pentru cai, alături de alți oameni ai străzii.
✍️"Max Einstein nu avea nicio idee despre cine era, de unde venea, cum ajunsese în orașul New York sau cum se pricopsise cu numele Max Einstein. Ii plăcea să se gândească la asta ca la un mare mister al vieții, pe care nu-l rezolvase"
De la primele pagini observăm istețimea fetiței, atunci când îi explică domnului Kennedy, cum poate transforma bălegarul de cal în biocombustibil, pentru a încălzii "casa lor", precum și noțiunile de legislatie pe care le cunoaște și le folosește ca argumente, pentru a opri evacuarea lor.
Cele menționate sunt doar începutul, deoarece aflăm că la acea vârstă merge deja la Universitatea New York ( prin "modificarea" unor acte). Dr Zimm scrisese pe diferite grupuri, iar asistentul Stark de la universitate, imediat a identificat-o și i-a semnalat celui ce conducea "Corporatia " locația unde putea fi găsită. Corporatia nu era singura care își dorea să "discute" cu ea ci și Institutul Făuritorilor Schimbării. (IFS), institut ce era interesat de :" securitatea apei și a hranei, schimbarea climatică, criza educațională, sărăcia, conflictele și războaiele, pandemiiile"
✍️"Doar o viață trăită pentru ceilalți este o viață ce merită trăită "
Charl, Isabl reușesc să ajungă înaintea dr Zimm și să o convingă să vină cu ei la Ierusalim, altfel fiind protejată de Dr Zimm și de Corporație
✍️"Intelepciunea nu este produsul scolarizarii, ci al încercării de o viață de a o căpăta.
Atunci când nu vorbește cu Einstein în gândul ei, povestește despre viața lui...
✍️"Unul dintre cele mai mari eșecuri ale profes. Einstein are legătură cu avioanele. În 1916 a scris un articol tehnic prin care propunea o nouă formă pentru aripile avioanelor....inginerii au construit un prototip în mărime normala a acestei idei-un biplan,în Primul Război Mondial, având atașate duble "aripi Einstein"...dar avionul cu aripile umflate era dificil de controlat, raportase pilotul. Einstein acceptă eșecul proiectului său scriind" Cam asta i se poate întâmpla unui om care gândește mult, dar citește puțin....și " Oricine nu a făcut o greșeală nu a încercat niciodată ceva nou"
Sunt menționate, descrise : Domul Stâncii și Citadela-Turnul lui David, Muntele Sion, precum și o vizită la Arhivele Einstein de la Universitatea Ebraică din Ierusalim, unde Einstein fusese unul dintre fondatorii acestei universități, precum și Yad Vashem- Centrul Internațional Memorial al Holocaustului.
✍️Dacă ar fi să salvăm rasa umană ar trebui în primul rând să recunoaștem umanitatea în întregul ei, indiferent de poziția ocupată în viața "
Aici în Ierusalim, la sediul central al IFS-ului, se mai află încă 8 copii dotați, din diferite zone ale țării, ce urmează și ei să susțină 3 examene, alături de Max bineînțeles, iar unul dintre ei să fie ales pentru a conduce o echipă și a încerca să rezolve diferite probleme din lume.
La primul examen, mintea i-a hoinarit pe o rază de lumină, iar când supraveghetoarea a anunțat ca mai sunt 5 minute, a scris 2 citate:
✍️"singura sursă a cunoașterii este experienta";
✍️"nu sunt un pește care urcă în copac "
La interviu, din toate întrebările despre Albert Einstein, Max nu a răspuns nici măcar la una..fiindcă toate întrebările erau despre ce a făcut Einstein sau ce a spus, ce a crezut și niciuna despre CINE a fost..
La ultimul examen, din cele 50 de întrebări, a decis să le memoreze și să răspundă doar la ultimele 2. La interviul de după examen la citat pe Einstein: " Idealurile care mi-au luminat drumul și care mereu mi-au dat curaj să fac față vieții cu voioșie au fost: bunătatea, frumusetea și adevărul ". Acestea sunt și idealurile care as vrea sa-mi lumineze și mie drumul. Răspunse la ultimele 2, deoarece celelalte 48 erau un prolog care conducea la cele două întrebări la care a răspuns.
Acestă argumentare a făcut ca ea să fie aleasă dintre cei 9 copii, și urma să conducă un grup de adulți pentru a rezolva diferitele misiuni. Bineînțeles că Max si-a dorit ca echipa ei să fie formată din copiii alături de care dăduse examen.
Așa că alături de Siobhan, Keeto, Toma Hana, Vihaan, Tisa, Annika, Klaus urmau să plece în Congo în prima lor misiune, pentru a reconstrui rețeaua electrică, deoarece doar 9% din 70 milioane de locuitori aveau acces la energie electrică.
Au fost în Congo, nu le-a fost deloc ușor să răzbată, Dr Zimm a tot încercat să-i oprească, deoarece existau oameni ce nu doreau energia electrică, doreau să aibă în continuare copii ce lucrau în minele de cobalt.
✍️"Pacea nu poate fi obținută prin violenta"
Iar la sfârșitul primului volum își descoperă " binefăcătorul " și aștept cu nerăbdare să descopăr următoarea misiune.
La sfârșitul cărții găsim un joc cu ajutorul căruia descoperim locația urmatoarei misiuni, cum să facem slime, Legile lui Newton, teoriile lui Einstein
Diverse citate:
✍️"Marile spirite au întâlnit întotdeauna opoziție din partea minților mediocre
✍️Sa nu te oprești niciodată din a-ti pune întrebări, curiozitatea sta la baza existentei."
✍️Frică și prostia au stat dintotdeauna la baza celor mai multe acțiuni umane"

✍️"Nu îmbătrâni, indiferent de vârstă pe care o ai. Niciodată nu te opri să fii precum copiii curioși în fața marelui mister în care am venit pe lume"
✍️Un nou tip de gândire este absolut necesar dacă omenirea vrea să supraviețuiască și să ajungă la niveluri mai importante.

O carte ce vă îndemn să o citiți alături de copiii dumneavoastră, o carte din care am avut și eu de învățat, o carte ce mi-a ajuns la suflet și în minte.
🔎"Pisica lui Schrodinger "-experiment de gândire dezvoltat într-o serie de scrisori dintre Einstein și fizicianul austriac Erwin Schrondinger.
🔎"Domnul Isaac Newton, bunicul fizicii moderne, a descoperit legile mișcării, inclusiv pe aceea care spune că un corp nemiscat are tentinda de a nu se misca-chiar și atunci când se află intr-un tren care accelerează.
🔎A doua lege a accelerației lui Newton spunea că rata accelerației ar depinde de masa obiectelor aflate în mișcare. Cu cât obiectele sunt mai grele, cu atât ar avea o viteză mai mică decât obiectele mai usoare.
🔎Filosoful anric grec Socrate își învață discipolii:punând întrebări și răspunzând la ele.
🔎E=mc², înseamnă că energia unui obiect este egală cu masa-cantitatea de materie pe care o are -înmulțit cu viteza la pătrat.
Viteza luminii=299782 km/secundă
🔎Prototipul unui avion cu "aripi Einstein "(mentioant mai jos )
🔎Mentionat " dezvoltarea umană adusa de Aristotel și silogismele lui"
🔎Activismul în drepturile omului a lui Albert Einstein. La pacifismul său, chiar dacă teoriile sale au fost folosite pentru a ajuta la dezvoltarea bombei atomice care a pus capăt celui de-al Doilea Război Mondial.
🔎 Legea efectului fotoelectric..înseamnă un premiu mai de preț decât însuși Nobelul primit în 1921.(adică folosirea principiului)..La 16 ani după ce am dezvoltat efectul fotoelectric în 1905. Câteodată trebuie să avem răbdare și să așteptăm ca lumea să ne ajungă din urmă.
🔎A treia lege a mișcării a lui Newton spune că pentru fiecare acțiune există o reacție egală și opusă.
Spoiler alert!
În New York, o fetiță orfană de 12 ani, pe nume Maxine Einstein, se adăpostește la etajul unui grajd pentru cai, alături de alți oameni ai străzii.
✍️"Max Einstein nu avea nicio idee despre cine era, de unde venea, cum ajunsese în orașul New York sau cum se pricopsise cu numele Max Einstein. Ii plăcea să se gândească la asta ca la un mare mister al vieții, pe care nu-l rezolvase"
De la primele pagini observăm istețimea fetiței, atunci când îi explică domnului Kennedy, cum poate transforma bălegarul de cal în biocombustibil, pentru a încălzii "casa lor", precum și noțiunile de legislatie pe care le cunoaște și le folosește ca argumente, pentru a opri evacuarea lor.
Cele menționate sunt doar începutul, deoarece aflăm că la acea vârstă merge deja la Universitatea New York ( prin "modificarea" unor acte). Dr Zimm scrisese pe diferite grupuri, iar asistentul Stark de la universitate, imediat a identificat-o și i-a semnalat celui ce conducea "Corporatia " locația unde putea fi găsită. Corporatia nu era singura care își dorea să "discute" cu ea ci și Institutul Făuritorilor Schimbării. (IFS), institut ce era interesat de :" securitatea apei și a hranei, schimbarea climatică, criza educațională, sărăcia, conflictele și războaiele, pandemiiile"
✍️"Doar o viață trăită pentru ceilalți este o viață ce merită trăită "
Charl, Isabl reușesc să ajungă înaintea dr Zimm și să o convingă să vină cu ei la Ierusalim, altfel fiind protejată de Dr Zimm și de Corporație
✍️"Intelepciunea nu este produsul scolarizarii, ci al încercării de o viață de a o căpăta.
Atunci când nu vorbește cu Einstein în gândul ei, povestește despre viața lui...
✍️"Unul dintre cele mai mari eșecuri ale profes. Einstein are legătură cu avioanele. În 1916 a scris un articol tehnic prin care propunea o nouă formă pentru aripile avioanelor....inginerii au construit un prototip în mărime normala a acestei idei-un biplan,în Primul Război Mondial, având atașate duble "aripi Einstein"...dar avionul cu aripile umflate era dificil de controlat, raportase pilotul. Einstein acceptă eșecul proiectului său scriind" Cam asta i se poate întâmpla unui om care gândește mult, dar citește puțin....și " Oricine nu a făcut o greșeală nu a încercat niciodată ceva nou"
Sunt menționate, descrise : Domul Stâncii și Citadela-Turnul lui David, Muntele Sion, precum și o vizită la Arhivele Einstein de la Universitatea Ebraică din Ierusalim, unde Einstein fusese unul dintre fondatorii acestei universități, precum și Yad Vashem- Centrul Internațional Memorial al Holocaustului.
✍️Dacă ar fi să salvăm rasa umană ar trebui în primul rând să recunoaștem umanitatea în întregul ei, indiferent de poziția ocupată în viața "
Aici în Ierusalim, la sediul central al IFS-ului, se mai află încă 8 copii dotați, din diferite zone ale țării, ce urmează și ei să susțină 3 examene, alături de Max bineînțeles, iar unul dintre ei să fie ales pentru a conduce o echipă și a încerca să rezolve diferite probleme din lume.
La primul examen, mintea i-a hoinarit pe o rază de lumină, iar când supraveghetoarea a anunțat ca mai sunt 5 minute, a scris 2 citate:
✍️"singura sursă a cunoașterii este experienta";
✍️"nu sunt un pește care urcă în copac "
La interviu, din toate întrebările despre Albert Einstein, Max nu a răspuns nici măcar la una..fiindcă toate întrebările erau despre ce a făcut Einstein sau ce a spus, ce a crezut și niciuna despre CINE a fost..
La ultimul examen, din cele 50 de întrebări, a decis să le memoreze și să răspundă doar la ultimele 2. La interviul de după examen la citat pe Einstein: " Idealurile care mi-au luminat drumul și care mereu mi-au dat curaj să fac față vieții cu voioșie au fost: bunătatea, frumusetea și adevărul ". Acestea sunt și idealurile care as vrea sa-mi lumineze și mie drumul. Răspunse la ultimele 2, deoarece celelalte 48 erau un prolog care conducea la cele două întrebări la care a răspuns.
Acestă argumentare a făcut ca ea să fie aleasă dintre cei 9 copii, și urma să conducă un grup de adulți pentru a rezolva diferitele misiuni. Bineînțeles că Max si-a dorit ca echipa ei să fie formată din copiii alături de care dăduse examen.
Așa că alături de Siobhan, Keeto, Toma Hana, Vihaan, Tisa, Annika, Klaus urmau să plece în Congo în prima lor misiune, pentru a reconstrui rețeaua electrică, deoarece doar 9% din 70 milioane de locuitori aveau acces la energie electrică.
Au fost în Congo, nu le-a fost deloc ușor să răzbată, Dr Zimm a tot încercat să-i oprească, deoarece existau oameni ce nu doreau energia electrică, doreau să aibă în continuare copii ce lucrau în minele de cobalt.
✍️"Pacea nu poate fi obținută prin violenta"
Iar la sfârșitul primului volum își descoperă " binefăcătorul " și aștept cu nerăbdare să descopăr următoarea misiune.
La sfârșitul cărții găsim un joc cu ajutorul căruia descoperim locația urmatoarei misiuni, cum să facem slime, Legile lui Newton, teoriile lui Einstein
Diverse citate:
✍️"Marile spirite au întâlnit întotdeauna opoziție din partea minților mediocre
✍️Sa nu te oprești niciodată din a-ti pune întrebări, curiozitatea sta la baza existentei."
✍️Frică și prostia au stat dintotdeauna la baza celor mai multe acțiuni umane"
✍️Să nu vă îndoiți niciodată că un grup de cetățeni inteligenți și implicați ar putea schimba lumea; într-adevăr, doar asa a fost întotdeauna posibil-Margaret Mead.
✍️Trebuie să fim schimbarea de care lumea are nevoie -Mahatma Gandhi
✍️"Nu îmbătrâni, indiferent de vârstă pe care o ai. Niciodată nu te opri să fii precum copiii curioși în fața marelui mister în care am venit pe lume"

Przyjemna historia że świetną, główną bohaterką🌻
Książka przystępnie przedstawia podstawowe fakty z dziedziny fizyki, a także dowiadujemy się różnych ciekawostek o Albercie Einsteinie!
Bohaterowie trochę wyidealizowani, a fabuła podkoloryzowana, ale myślę, że nie będzie to przeszkadzać młodszym czytelnikom, do których skierowana jest ta książka🥰

Great series starter and another WIN for the collaboration team of James Patterson and Chris Grabenstein! Max/Maxine Einstein and a group of fellow kid geniuses really put their brains to good work in a fast-paced tale of run-from-the-bad-guys-do-good-things-for-those-who-need-them realistic fiction book for readers of both genders in grades 4 and up. Max is a thoroughly likable character with brains galore who has lived on her own for as long as she can remember. Her fascination with all things Albert Einstein has not only shaped her analytical side, it has inspired the humanitarian in her as well. So why do evil people want to kidnap her? Go read the book; you’ll be glad you did. And along the read, you are likely to be quite impressed by Bev Johnson’s fabulous sketches. My dARC, provided by Edelweiss, did not have all the artwork that will be in the upcoming release, but I saw enough to know that the drawings add even more life to the text and I look forward to purchasing the finished product for both my fourth and fifth grade libraries so I can see all of it and my kids can start enjoying it. One small disappointment-the author note on Chris Grabenstein only included his partner efforts with James Patterson when most of his best writing comes in his solo works, The Lemoncello Library series and “Island of Dr. Libris,” to name my favorites.

Possibly a good book for mature children and youth and adults. Lots of science, lots of environmental concerns, lot of thinking about solutions. Imagination is often more important in problem solving than knowledge.
Interesting the "action" parts of the story are set in Jerusalem and the Congo with the issues of those areas as background and the problems the Team" sets out to solve.
Max Einstein and her team of young teenagers find some clever solutions to a major problem in parts parts of the world today- access to electricity combining two technologies! Future books will tackle other major issues- water, warming pollution and so forth.
On the other hand, I don't know what age group the book is aimed at. It is written too simplistically for young teenagers, but the issues it deal ,with are very mature and probably frightening to most children and the issues it deals with are complex even for most adults.
Also I think the book has too much backstory for young people to deal with.
I really like that the "big issues" affecting the world are being dealt with by very clever young people, but i don't like that guns, kidnaping and violence are so prevalent in nearly all aspects of the book.

I won an advanced copy of this book as part of a GoodReads Giveaway. It was a great read- fast-paced in true James Patterson form. This is the first of his children’s books that I have read, but I can see that his talent spreads across all age groups. The characters were engaging and the plot was exciting and interesting, and even as an adult I wanted to continue reading to see what would happen next. I also enjoyed the scientific and globally conscious aspect of it, and young readers who are interested in science and the environment would too. I will definitely be recommending this to my fifth grade students, and I look forward to the rest of the series!

Fantastic and intriguing book co-authored by James Patterson and Chris Grabenstein!!!
What a great debut novel in this new series by two writing geniuses. I absolutely cannot wait for more titles. Maxine is a strong female heroine, the character is sure to inspire a generation of budding scientists. I can see this novel creating a renewed interest in Albert Einstein and other world renowned scientists.
The plot twists and character growth is well developed and easy to follow for young readers. This book is entertaining and a page turner. Great for a reluctant reader of any gender.
For Chris Grabenstein fans this is defiantly up there with his Mr. Lemoncello Books. This is my new favorite collaboration series between Patterson and Grabenstein.
Happy Reading!

Max is a homeless orphan to start the story. She's brilliant and able to manipulate computers to enroll in college. She knows how to fly under the radar so carefully calculates maintaining a C average. She's taken from the class and put in a group home by two sinister men (you can tell as they wear all black.) Two other people rescue her and bring her to Jerusalem to audition for leading a team for an organization that wants to solve earth's problems. She's there with eight other brilliant kids and learns how to be friends with people her own age.
Lots of adventure and mayhem occur as good battles evil. Plenty of hints along the way as to her background and the adventures to come in future books.
