Max Einstein: The Genius Experiment is book 1 in a brand new series for readers aged 7+ written by James Patterson.
It is the first and only children’s series to be officially approved by the Albert Einstein Archives.
These teachers’ notes are for use with Years 5–6. They provide support for using Max Einstein: The Genius Experiment as a class reader, providing reading questions focusing on comprehension, inference, and retrieval skills, as well as suggestions for cross-curricular activities.
These notes work primarily as an introduction to the themes and ideas within the book, giving suggestions for how to enjoy it across different subjects in order to generate a love of reading and STEM subjects in the classroom – from creating learning about the theory of relativity, to performing television interviews with the characters, to creating dialogue with Albert Einstein himself…
About the book

Twelve-year-old orphan Max Einstein is not your typical genius. Max hacks the computer system at NYU in order to attend college courses (even though she hates tests), builds homemade inventions to help the homeless, and plays speed chess in the park.
Her not-so-normal life is crazy but predictable until…Max is recruited by a mysterious organisation!
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…
