Frank Einstein and the Space-Time Zipper (Frank Einstein Series #6)
1 The sun sets slowly in the western sky of Midville Watson zips down East Oak Street as fast as he can pedal From the other side of town Janegoodall races along West Oak Street They both hit the corner of Oak and Pine at almost exactly the same moment skid slide turn and stop Watson holds up his phone You got the weird text from Frank too Janegoodall nods What do you think it means Watson shakes his head I have no idea what’s going on but it sounds like Frank’s in trouble Janegoodall reads from her phone Need help Come to junkyard junkyard Follow the arrow sign At sunset Bring banana Watson holds up a slightly smushed banana Janegoodall shakes her head I have no idea Watson looks at the setting sun Let’s roll
Watson and Janegoodall race their bikes to Grampa Al Einstein's Einstein’s house Fix It repair shop and Frank Einstein’s laboratory laboratory They skid to a stop drop their bikes race around the back of Grampa Al’s They scan the piles of junk There says Watson Janegoodall and Watson follow the old lightbulb-studded arrow arrow sign But it points to nothing except a pile of broken toasters
The red-orange rays of the setting sun light the top of the giant giant maple tree in the alley Watson jams the banana in his back pocket Frank needs help with toasters Janegoodall looks around Maybe this is the wrong sign She kicks at a pile of junk She sees metal Janegoodall and Watson clear away the toasters But the metal turns out to be nothing but a storm drain
