A Mystery with Gadgets You Can Build Yourself
Solve mysteries using DIY science projects with twin sleuths Nick and Tesla in this zany, action-packed middle grade adventure by "Science Bob" Pflugfelder! Summer break is about to get weird. After their parents disappear, twins Nick and Tesla are sent to live with their Uncle Newt, an eccentric inventor with his very own science lab. Soon, the young sleuths find themselves investigating a mysterious family right in their own neighborhood. As they race to uncover the truth, Nick and Tesla must build a bottle rocket launcher, a 9-volt battery burglar alarm, and an electromagnet picker-upper to save the day. Now in paperback, the first book in the popular Nick and Tesla series features laugh-out-loud jokes, fun illustrations, and five DIY science projects with step-by-step instructions for readers to try at home.

Absolutely adored this one. Nick and Tesla are lot of fun, although a tad chaotic too LOL.
This is perfect for middle school readers. The story will keep their attention and the science projects will entertain their creative side. I really love that this has instructions on how to build/make the ideas the twins have. Definitely one I am sharing with my grandbabies.
I sincerely appreciate Quirk Books for the review copy. All opinions expressed are my own.
