What if I told you Ben Franklin never died. It is well know that he was a member of various secret societies, but one society had the mother of all secrets. The Modern Order of Prometheus was a very secret organization that found a way to “preserve” a living human in perpetual sleep until they were needed by the future. Ben was the first to be put to sleep. He has now awoken and is trying to find the custodian or anyone else with the Order to tell him why he has been awakened. But all he finds is Victor, a boy getting ready for the science fair.

This book was just so much fun. Ben is Ben, but also a Frankenstein like character complete with bolts in his neck for recharging. The book uses legitimate scientific reasoning of Ben’s time for many of the ideas in the book. It uses illustrations from real patents, and explains what they were, and how they are still used today. This is part history, but also part science that is a great read for October, or any other day. The characters are likable, and I really, really, really, want to know what that kids did to the potato juice. What am I talking about? Read the book, I don’t want to spoil it.
