Max Einstein Book Series
There are four books in the Max Einstein book series, written by James Patterson and Chris Grabenstein. These books are probably best for ages eight to fourteen. Max Einstein: The Genius Experiment is a #1 New York Times bestseller and Max Einstein is the first and only children’s adventure series officially approved by the Albert Einstein Archives.
The curly-haired, redhead, Maxine Einstein, is a twelve-year-old orphan genius with a huge heart and she may or may not be related to Albert Einstein. Max has no idea who her parents are. She’s infatuated with Albert Einstein and talks to him often, well, his photograph anyway.

Animated Series
According to Variety.com, Imagine Kids & Family has won the rights to develop James Patterson and Chris Grabenstein’s “Max Einstein” books as an animated series, I really hope this happens, I believe it would be an excellent series for kids with all of the science and history of Albert Einstein. Max Einstein is full of adventure and I love that she’s a positive role model and a genius.

I absolutely love the science(ish) based books. Keep em’ coming! I might end up getting these! These are the kind of things that inspire young people to explore the world around them. Thank you for bringing more light to this series. Reminds me of that kid that made a hot wheels car run on it’s own from a fan and a AA battery purely out of curiosity.
Hello Tracy, thank you for sharing this information on the Max Einstein book series. These books are indeed full of adventure and I’m sure they will be fun and very much enjoyable to read. I really wish there would be an animation of this series because animations are much more enjoyable and easy to comprehend. These books are lovely indeed.
Yet again, I am amazed at the effort you put into these James Patterson book reviews. Maybe it is because I studied physics, but I love that Max is a genius and has her own style. I especially like all of the references to Albert Einstein. Thanks for sharing this article on the Max Einstein book series.
